Wilson Plaza, located in Uptown Corpus Christi, will shut down Friday, according to an eviction notice delivered to tenants last week .
Very few tenants remain in the building. Some tenants tell KRIS 6 News the building has had no air conditioning for at least a year.
That building is the current home of the City of Corpus Christi Magistration and Detention Center.
It is unclear if the city will receive any additional time to move these operations.
Any adult arrested by the Corpus Christi Police Department, Corpus Christi City Marshal’s Office, and Corpus Christi Airport Public Safety is taken to that center for processing and magistration.
Following magistration individuals arrested for class A or B misdemeanors and felony charges are processed and then transported to the Nueces County Jail.
According to that notice obtained by 6 Investigates, “Due to ongoing conditions, Wilson Plaza will be closing operations as of October 4, 2024. At that time, the building will be locked, and no further access will be permitted… Please consider this letter a formal notice to vacate.”
