The Daniel Boone Building has stood at 701 East Broadway since 1917. Originally a hotel and tavern, this venerable building is undergoing a three-phase project of expansion and renovation.
Phase 1 features lobby renovations and new offices for Treasury Management and Utility Customer Services, including a canopied, drive-thru area for utility customers, and temporary offices for the Finance Department.
Phase 1 open house and ribbon cutting were held on Thursday, March 6, 2008.

Phase 2 involves demolishing the current utility services “annex” at 8th and Broadway followed by construction of a five-story addition on the east side of the Daniel Boone building. Scheduled for completion by late 2009, plans include a plaza which will feature public space.
Phase 3 Phase 3 will include complete interior renovation of the Daniel Boone building, plus energy efficient windows, a new reflective roof and an exterior facade compatible with the new addition. Work will take about one year.
A series of bond issues will allow funding of the project without raising taxes. When completed, City offices currently housed in rental spaces throughout downtown will move back into the City Hall complex, achieving a goal to centralize City services in an easily accessible cluster of recycled, historic buildings that also includes the recently renovated Howard and Gentry Buildings.
Artist Howard Meehan has submitted a design concept for his work for the City Hall Percent for Art project. Meehan was selected by the city's Standing Committee on Public Art and Commission on Cultural Affairs for the project after a national search for artists.
