CLAXTON — A site work crew is preparing the pad for the new City Hall, a $1 million project the city government has been saving for, for years. The new building will not entirely replace the existing City Hall, also known as the Perry Lee DeLoach Municipal Building, but is being built beside it on Claxton's Railroad Avenue. The older building will still house the Claxton Fire Department and Claxton Police Department, the courtroom and city jail, while the mayor, city administrator and billing clerks will have offices in the new, 6,210-square-foot building.
