Project Details: This project has 2 primary phases.  Phase I (Sub-Project #1) involves the site selection, design, and construction of a new, modern Judicial Center approximately 142,000 square feet in size.  The Judicial Center will be a multifunctional facility expected to house courts, judicial staff, and other related functions as well as building space for community functions. Phase II involves the renovation of the existing historic courthouse and annex to convert it into a facility for multiple ACCGov operations and possibly commercial, retail, or other community function uses.

Project Update:   No new update this month.

On August 1, 2023, the Mayor & Commission voted to approve two Candidate Sites: 355 E Hancock Ave. (Federal Building) and 160, 230 E Strong St, 550 N Jackson St (Downtown ACCGov owned parking lots). Further due diligence on the two approved Candidate Sites including architectural layouts, environmental assessments, geotechnical exploration, and a traffic analysis has recently been completed. Due diligence findings were presented to M&C in an executive session on 11/7/23 to determine the next steps of site selection.  Mayor & Commission continues to evaluate the best options for the future Judicial Center. The proposed Project Concept is scheduled for M&C approval in the Dec/Jan cycle.
