Plans for a new City Hall in Clinton hit a standstill earlier this year when bids for the needs of the City came in way over budget.

City Administrator Taylor Baxter tells Regional Radio while there hasn't been a lot of discussion about the next step for the City, the project is not dead.

While the City has a substantial amount they can dedicate to this project, they are not trying to tie up all the community's assets into this one project.

For Baxter, getting the project remains a priority and they are going to collaborate with some local professionals to evaluate what the City wants to do. While frustrated, he indicates they remain committed to making wise decisions.

The City's water tower project is also going to be a big ticket item for the City in the next several years. While it will receive some grant funding and state loans, there could be a lot of money spent by the City of Clinton in the years ahead.
