FXBG Visitor Center project takes big step forward

Fredericksburg City Council on Tuesday approved two important pieces to advance the new Visitor Center project.

The City of Fredericksburg plans to relocate its Visitor Center from 706 Caroline Street to the first floor of the Executive Plaza at 601 Caroline Street. The new location will be significantly larger, more modern and more handicap-accessible.

City Council on Tuesday both appropriated the funds for the project and awarded the construction contract to the low bidder, Paddox LLC.

Construction is expected to start in 2024. A companion project is expected to also get under way then for a new office for the Department of Economic Development and Tourism on the third floor of the Executive Plaza.
