See Photos: New Doylestown Borough Hall Will Open Jan. 3

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The borough of Doylestown said Monday that local government will be moving to a new spot Jan. 3.

"We are planning on being open in our new home on Monday, January 3!" representatives wrote, alongside photographs provided by Larry Browne.

The new borough hall was built in a more than $10 million construction project and will also serve as a new headquarters for the Central Bucks Regional Police Department.

Borough resident Larry Thompson bought the old borough hall at 57 W. Court St for $2.3 million in October, according to a report in the Bucks County Herald. He's considering turning the building into a "boutique-ish hotel" or an edifice that will "be useful to all of Doylestown."

The new borough hall will be located at 10 Doyle St.

The old hall will close between Dec. 21 and Dec. 31 to facilitate the relocation. The borough said the lobby at 57 W. Court Street will remain open for the drop off of water bill and parking ticket payments, and the drop off and pick up of permit applications and permits.

Messages can be left at the general number (215) 345-4140 or for the Parking Department at (215) 345-1305. Those with an emergency may dial 911 or (215) 328-8508 for Water or Public Works issues.
