About the Project
 
Located in east downtown, the Visalia Civic Center Complex project is over 30 years in the making. The first phase included the Visalia Emergency Communications Center. This groundbreaking celebrates the second phase, the building of the Civic Center itself, which will house the new Council Chambers, public safety, finance, and feature an outdoor pavilion.
