FORT MILL, S.C. — Marking a transformative chapter in the town’s downtown revitalization, the Town of Fort Mill officially dedicated its new Town Hall at 205 N. White St. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 9, 2026.
The public event, held at the building’s main entrance along McCammon Street, brought together local leaders, elected officials, and residents to celebrate the milestone. The ceremony featured a dedication plaque honoring the citizens of Fort Mill and listed the current administration, including Mayor Guynn Savage, the Town Council, and Town Manager Cary Vargo.
A Historic Rebirth
The new facility is the centerpiece of a broader effort to repurpose historic structures that were once the heartbeat of the town’s textile era. The buildings at 123 and 205 North White Street formerly served as the Springs Executive Office and the Springs Research and Development Center for Springs Industries.
The Town acquired these iconic properties in May 2024 following a facilities study that highlighted a need for expanded municipal space. By choosing to renovate these 1950s-era landmarks rather than build new, Mayor Savage noted the town was able to “preserve precious history” while providing space for at least 20 years of future growth.
Centralized Civic Services
The move to the new campus has been a multi-phase process:
-
April 2025: The Fort Mill Police Department officially relocated its headquarters to the remodeled facility, moving from its long-time home on Confederate Street.
-
January 2026: The Planning, Development Services, and Customer Service/Utility Billing departments completed their transition to the 205 N. White St. building.
-
February 9, 2026: The formal dedication and ribbon-cutting by the Town Council signaled that all primary municipal functions—including Council Chambers and the Municipal Court—are now unified under one roof.
With this move complete, the town is moving forward with the sale of its former properties at 112 Confederate Street and 200 Tom Hall Street.
