Excitement is in the air on Main Street in Cave City, as two historic building renovation projects near completion. The former Bank of Cave City (circa 1950) building at 201 South Main St. will soon house new City Hall administration offices. These will include offices of the mayor, water & sewer department, revenue office, and city finance manager. There will also be a large and small conference room. The former Cave City Lumber Company (circa 1958) building at 103 Union St., just behind the future City Hall, will soon house the Cave City Police Department. This building will include multiple offices, a large meeting and training room, secure storage areas, and more for the growing department.

Mayor Jonas Anderson stressed the importance of these projects in the overall vision of his administration to reinvest in the historic downtown section of the community, eventually transforming the entire city block into a “city square” styled space. Future plans include a new community center building and public swimming pool to be located adjacent to these two properties.

Anderson said he “cannot wait” to reveal these new buildings to the public. The city should be able to start moving into them within the next month or so, he said.
