Leland Town Hall expansion moving ahead of schedule

LELAND, NC (WWAY) — We have an update on the expansion of Leland’s town hall. 

The construction project, which began last August, is running ahead of schedule.  

It includes an expansion to the existing town hall and additional parking spaces, which are nearly complete. 

Crews have finished installing the metal framing and are now moving on to exterior walls, plumbing, and electrical systems. The new extension will connect to the current town hall with a breezeway. 

Project Manager Will Lear said the expansion is long overdue as Leland’s population has nearly doubled in the last decade. 

“Right now we’ve got people shoved in every nook and cranny in this existing building, so we’ve really had a need for this expansion for quite some time to actually give people an office to work out of,” Lear said. 

Lear added the project could be completed as early as August.
