The new Municipal Government Complex is a $8.193 million project that was first suggested as part of the "Loop" presentation by the City Manager in May of 1999.

The new building was built without any increase in the income taxes for the citizens and businesses of the City of Piqua.

The project consisted of building a new two-story structure at Wayne and Water Streets, remodeling the former City Hall building, and Fire Department reconstruction (completed in early 2001).  The rest of the complex was completed in November 2001.  The new two-story brick structure is designed to complement and enhance the historic City Hall building.  

The project also includes an outdoor plaza at the intersection of Wayne and Water Streets.  The new complex will also be linked to the Linear Park through the rear parking lot.

City departments moved out of the former City Hall, Police Department and City Annex Building at the end of April, 2000.  Work began on the new complex in May, 2000.  The new complex opened in November, 2001.
