A ribbon cutting ceremony was held last Thursday, May 1 for the new Cocoa Beach City Hall, located at the corner of Orlando Avenue and Minutemen Causeway. ICYMI, enjoy this recap of the event, attended by W+J’s Chad Laston, Rick Cofer and Shelley Sutherland.
The event began with music on the performance stage, provided by Cocoa Beach High School’s Orchestra students. A young man named Joey talked about the meaning behind the flag he designed, which now flies in front of City Hall. Several city commissioners and other dignitaries addressed the crowd who had gathered on the green space in front of the building. Next, the dignitaries gathered to cut the ribbon, to signify that the building was officially open. Following the ceremony, tours were given upstairs, where an art unveiling by Mark Longenecker revealed a duo of hand-painted surfboards, featuring COCOA and BEACH.
This 29,900 GSF, two-story space includes a community room with a kitchen, storage space, restrooms, and ground-level parking. The second floor is home to secure office spaces for city officials and personnel as well as the council chamber. This enhanced and modernized building is a symbol of growth and progress for the city, with enduring strength for the generations that will follow.
