The historic wooden City Seal from the former Newport Beach City Hall on the Peninsula has been installed at the entrance of the new Civic Center at 100 Civic Center Dr.
The City's Public Works Department coordinated the installation and refurbishment. The wooden seal has been in storage at a City facility after it was removed from the former City Hall building more than a decade ago.
The project was initiated by former Newport Beach Mayor Don Webb.
