But one of the judges, the Honorable Michael Buckwalter, said, “There are four out of five judges that do not want to do this.”
The proposal would relocate court activity and several county departments to a new location. Social services would be relocated to still other buildings as well.
Some buildings would be razed or sold, but County Administrator Brandon Huddleson said the courthouse isn’t going anywhere.
“It would be more of a museum type building, back the way it was when, you know, years ago when the public could just openly walk,” he said.
