Bowie finance offices preparing for move on Dec. 3
Beginning on Dec. 4, the City of Bowie Finance Department will be relocating to the new City of Bowie Customer Service Center located at 303 N. Mason.
Finance Director Carrie Moore said if all goes well with the move, the center will be open on Dec. 4 to begin handling customers both inside at the counters and in the drive-through window.
The remodeling work has been underway for a couple of months along with planning for moving phones and computer systems.
The offices move to the former Legend Bank Motorbank. The drive-up window is back, installed where the former ATM machine was located. The convenience of the drive-through is expected to be welcomed back by customers after it was closed more than a year ago at the present offices.
Cunningham said the finance offices and Finance Director Carrie Moore will move to the new offices. Municipal Judge Darla Cordell will move up to the front office pay window to serve her customers, while the city secretary will remain in her office. The city manager, code officer and mayor will remain housed in those offices.
The city manager said the future plan is to remodel the large area of the community room to move those offices into, while allowing the police to expand into the present city offices. Rentals of the community room will cease as of Dec. 31.
