“The old City Hall was kind of like a fortress, and it was cold and didn’t really connect to anything. The new City Hall is much more open and bright, and this speaks to how government should be: more transparent, more welcoming, more sustainable, more flexible”

- Long Beach Mayor Dr. Robert Garcia
