Municipal Services Building in Clearwater

Project Background

City of Clearwater staff moved out of the Municipal Services Building in January 2025 for renovations, which are expected to be complete in October 2025.

Improvements will go beyond basic repairs, transforming more than 66,000 square feet of interior space to better serve the public and our staff. These updates reflect a modern and thoughtful approach to workplace design, aimed at supporting customer service, staff productivity, employee wellness, and the building’s long-term value. Renovations include upgrades to lighting, HVAC, plumbing, fire safety, and communications systems. The office environment was designed using 21st-century workplace strategies to create a more flexible, efficient, and engaging work environment.

The renovated building will house Utility Customer Service, Public Works, Public Utilities, Engineering, Parks and Recreation, Planning and Development, Economic Development & Housing, Finance, Information Technology and the Community Redevelopment Agency.
