Mid City Times

As the City of Fort Worth transitions its departments to New City Hall from the Old City Hall at 200 Texas St., a surplus of furniture and equipment has become available for donation.

In December 2020, the City acquired the former Pier 1 building to serve as New City Hall. The relocation of city departments into this renovated space began in late 2023, leaving behind various items in Old City Hall and other municipal facilities. If these surplus items are not claimed by other departments, they will need to be removed from the premises to facilitate remodeling and accommodate new occupants. The leftover furniture will be reused as necessary.

The City frequently employs auction services for selling non-repairable vehicles and equipment it owns and maintains an active contract with Lone Star Auctioneers. In past instances, such as after the sale of the former Central Library, deconstruction of city-owned properties, and excess personal protective equipment (PPE) from the pandemic, Fort Worth has utilized donations of city-owned resources.

Additionally, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has started collaborating with Rheaply, a company that operates a Public Reuse Market where organizations can list surplus furnishings and equipment for reuse.

Several departments have already vacated Old City Hall, with more expected to move in the coming months.
