Township Hall Project
View March Progress Update
Construction is underway!
We are pleased to announce that construction of the new Township Hall has begun. The Township Office will be moving to the parcel directly west of Texas Square Mall (behind Louie's Corner Bar).
This site was selected based on feedback received through our community survey and submissions received from an RFP for vacant sites within Texas Corners (circulated mid-2021). The project received site plan approval in August 2022 and Progressive AE will be completing the bid process in October.
- The Farmers' Market Pavilion and Fire Station will remain at their current location
- The Township Hall will be placed at the N end of the site, adjacent to Q Avenue. The rear half of the parcel will remain undeveloped at this time.
- A large factor in this decision was the ability for the Township to help facilitate the development of the Ring Road, providing greater connectivity in Texas Corners. As part of the Master Plan, the Ring Road is set to connect across this parcel. And ironically enough, this location was strongly considered for the Township Hall 20 years ago!

Project Overview and Need
In 2015/2016, Texas Township began evaluating options for a redesign of the existing Township Hall. The current structure was constructed over 30 years ago with an addition (where the current staff offices are located) constructed in 1994-1995. A Fire Station addition was built in 2012 to accommodate the implementation of a full-time Fire Department.
Over the past twenty years, the township has experienced substantial growth; the current Township Hall is inadequate to meet the current and future needs of the township. Additionally, the existing facility has numerous structural issues and areas that need substantial repair.
In 2016, the Township Board contracted with Wightman and Associates to complete a Feasibility Study of the existing building. In 2017/2018, the Township Board contracted with Progressive AE to complete a schematic design of a new/expanded facility on the existing site. That process presented many challenges due to space constraints and site limitations. Due to the historic flooding impacting hundreds of residents, the project was placed on hold.
In late 2020, as the flood mitigation efforts dramatically improved, the board decided to re-engage the project.
