Work crews began the process of repairing Perryton City Hall recently. The building sustained serious damage during the tornado last June, and the City of Perryton decided months ago that it would be more cost-efficient to rebuild and repair what was left of City Hall, rather than construct a new building. Demolition of damaged buildings in the 100 block of Main Street is also underway. Repairing City Hall is expected to take several months before completion.
