The $15.7 million renovation and expansion of City Hall won't be complete until later this fall, but that didn't stop the council from touring the building on Monday.

The five members of the Inver Grove Heights City Council took a tour of City Hall, which is undergoing a $15.7 million renovation and expansion.
