The town of Dublin has chosen a Blacksburg contractor to construct its new 9,100-square-foot Dublin Town Center Building that will become the new town hall.
Town Council chose an $810,000 bid from Snyder Co. Inc. for the project at a special meeting Thursday night. Four bids had been received earlier this month.
Plans are to use some of the space in the building for Pulaski County services, saving residents in the eastern part of the county a trip to Pulaski. The town has offered to accept county utility and tax bills, for example, for residents in the Dublin and Fairlawn areas.
The building will be in the 11-lot business park now known as the Dublin Town Center, which became part of the town through a voluntary boundary adjustment between the town and county in 1995.
First National Bank of Christiansburg is already building a 20,551-square-foot branch bank in the Town Center, which may be open by August. AMC Inc., which rents space from the town in the Dublin Industrial Park, broke ground Thursday for a 55,000-square-foot building to employ 75 to 100 people. The town has also designated space for a new 20,551-square-foot post office in the Town Center.
Both the center and industrial park are on property acquired by the town in 1993 and 1994 from Burlington Industries.
