Ridgeland, Mississippi City Hall History Room

Ridgeland City Hall

For the City of Ridgeland, February 14, 2021 was a special day with much significance and symbolism.  In 2008, Mayor McGee and the Ridgeland Board of Aldermen had a vision of developing a centralized region for future commerce and entertainment.  Because of that vision, on Valentine’s Day 2021, the City’s first building dedication became a reality – in the HEART of the City!  

Located in the very center of Ridgeland at the intersection of School Street and Highway 51, the City Center acquired its name due to its location within the City.  After years of planning and raising funds, the new City Hall, the City Center’s first project, became a reality.   

Housing the offices for the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, Finance and Administration, Community Development, Public Works, and Recreation and Parks, the new City Hall was built on a drilled-pier foundation that is designed to last for many years ahead and will be energy efficient. Seating at least 65 citizens, the board room boasts the latest technology.

Ridgeland’s City Hall also features a public green space and the Veterans Memory Park.
