New Bowie City Hall Project Started

The ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Bowie City Hall was held on September 30th, and the work to clear the lot has begun.


The construction headquarters sits on land that is part of the Bowie Town Center Park. The park is adjacent to the new City Hall property.



Construction vehicles are parked along the Excalibur Road sidewalk. Townhouses on Excalibur Road can be seen in the background. A path in the Bowie Town Center Park can be seen in the foreground.



Some of the trees have already been cleared from the property. Sears at the Bowie Town Center can be seen in the background. The edge of the Bowie Town Center Park is in the foreground.


The following Google satellite image shows the site of the new City Hall property. The Bowie Town Center lies to the Northwest of the property, and the Bowie Town Center Park lies to the South.

Frequently asked questions about the construction site are available on the City of Bowie web site. According to the FAQs, a 6-foot tall construction fence will be erected around the site, but that fence is not yet in place.

  1. I can't believe how much Bowie has grown. Houses are everywhere now.

  2. Intrepid, I pretty much figured that you and Dickster had a connection. Did you used to live in Bowie?

  3. Nope, but I spent a lot of time lost on dark, secluded, country roads in Bowie. I lived very close. In fact, I used your google map to drive by my old house. :) It's still there!
