Canal Winchester city offices now in new location
The City of Canal Winchester formally opened the doors to the new City Hall at 45 E. Waterloo Street on Monday, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by a brief tour of the facility.
The city purchased the former Bob McDorman Automotive Museum in 2020 with the intent of remodeling it into a centralized location for city services. The new space houses city offices, council chambers, and the community center.
The building is named in honor of the late Robert A. “Bob” McDorman.
“Bob was more than a successful car dealer. He was also an incredible philanthropist that supported the local schools, churches, hospitals, and even the City,” shared Mayor Mike Ebert. “We are honored to name the building after him”.
A plaque in honor of Bob will be displayed in the lobby of the building. The public is invited to an open house at City Hall on Friday, April 22 from 2 to 5 p.m. Members of staff will be available to answer questions and show guests around the facility. Light refreshments will be provided.
Construction in the downtown area continues with the demolition of the Frances Steube Community Center, located at 22 S. Trine St., to make room for additional parking. The former Municipal Building at 36 S. High St. will also have some remodeling done before the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office substation moves in.
