Ada’s City Building, constructed as a WPA project during the Great Depression, probably will receive a major renovation in 2019. Village officials have been considering what to include in a refurbishing with adding an elevator, safety, and efficiency the top priorities.

Village Council, and it’s committees, now meet on the top floor but this is inconvenient for the disabled public, press, and council members to attend.

Technicon Design Group, an architectural, engineering, and design group in Ottawa, is drawing up plans with the hope that the project can be bid and work completed in 2019.

Ada officials want to maintain the integrity of the exterior of the building since it was a WPA project.
