The Bountiful city council held a public hearing this week to propose a multi-million dollar project to replace the old town hall and add a city plaza. It's a question of $13 million for the project vs. $6.5 million in repairs and renovations for the old building.

City manager Gary Hill said the new building would cost the city $13 million, paid for through the city's Capital Reserve Program.

If approved, the site of new city hall and city plaza would replace Stoker School and a soccer field on 200 South. It would also close 200 South between Main Street and 100 East.

However, the proposal was met with a lack of support from local residents. Most people would rather see the money spent elsewhere, such as on education or youth facilities. The council will vote on the project on October 25.
