Williamson County forms commission-led courthouse task force; bond and Columbia Avenue purchase debated

Commissioners voted 21-0 to form a courthouse task force to study judicial facility needs and appointed four commissioners to serve. The meeting also saw lengthy debate over a not-to-exceed $17.85 million bond authorization and a proposal to seek a 180‑day extension on the county's option to buy 926 Columbia Avenue; bond publication and issuance were deferred for further counsel review.
