The Fayette County Justice Center was constructed in 2003 and serves as the home for Superior, State, Probate, Juvenile, Magistrate Courts, the Clerk of Courts, security, and other related services. Since then, case work among population growth in all the courts has increased to the point where updating the first and second floors and a build out of the third floor is needed. A Court House Task Force was created in 2022 to start the planning and design process.
The build out will include:
- Public Defender Auxiliary Office
- Probation Assignment & Accountability
- Mediation Suites (Required by some courts)
- Attorney/Client meeting rooms
- 1 Oversized Courtroom for high profile cases
Approved Budget: $14,500,000.00
