Dear Councilmember,

As a Dallas resident and taxpayer, I am writing to urge you to support relocating City Hall and redeveloping the current 1500 Marilla site.

The latest estimates show Dallas could spend roughly $1.5 billion over time to repair, modernize, maintain, and operate the existing City Hall complex. That is a significant long-term commitment of taxpayer dollars, and taxpayers deserve to know what we are receiving in return. The choice of throwing taxpayers’ money at a single building would result in less services – public safety, parks, libraries and more – that our citizens want.

This decision is about more than a building. It is about how Dallas invests in its future.

The City Hall site represents one of the largest redevelopment opportunities in downtown Dallas. Redeveloping the property could generate new tax revenue, attract private investment, create housing and economic activity, and help strengthen the tax base that supports city services across our city.

Downtown Dallas remains one of the city's most important economic engines, but it faces real challenges. This is an opportunity to make a transformational investment in the future of downtown while avoiding billions in long-term costs associated with an aging facility.

I respectfully ask that you support relocating City Hall and pursuing redevelopment of the current site. Dallas taxpayers deserve a solution that creates long-term value, strengthens our tax base, and positions our city for future growth.

Thank you for your consideration and for your service to our city.

Sincerely,

[NAME]
