Courthouse expansion nearing completion; county sets August ribbon-cutting

Jun 2, 2026

Contractors reported the courthouse expansion is roughly 88% complete with added restrooms, a relocated hearing room and a planned Aug. 14 ribbon-cutting; budget updates show contingency use for pending change orders but staff expects to close out project in coming weeks.

The full story

County project staff and contractors updated the Board of Commissioners on June 1 about progress at the courthouse expansion and remodel. Contractors reported progress in the 1977 section of the building — the basement hearing-room move, additional restrooms, and a Level 1 courtroom conversion — and said ceiling grid and painting were complete. Temporary modular entrances were removed, and crews are finishing punch-list items ahead of project closeout.
