| Project Description: |
| The Courthouse will be expanded by 8,000 square feet. Expansion will provide needed space for local and state courts along with related offices. Currently offices are having to move out of the courthouse making operations inefficient. New security measures have created additional difficulty. |
| |
| Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Expansion will allow for current crowding to be corrected. The Judicial system will get needed space and offices to operate daily operations. Additional security measures will be added to keep up with new demands placed on our growing society. The Courthouse is approximately 50% over capacity and expansion will correct. |
