City Council approves sale of Visitor Center building

Fredericksburg City Council on Tuesday approved the sale of the Visitor Center property, which will lead to the City opening a dynamic new Visitor Center at 601 Caroline Street (Executive Plaza).

The property at 706 Caroline Street and the adjacent parking lot will be sold to the Fredericksburg Economic Development Authority later this year. The City will lease it back for at least a year while it plans and builds out the new center on the first floor of the Executive Plaza. The EDA will evaluate what to do with the property after the Visitor Center and Department of Economic Development and Tourism relocate to Executive Plaza.

More detail, including preliminary renderings of what the new Visitor Center will look like, can be found in the Council packet here.
