Programs Temporarily Relocated After Closure of Historic Courthouse

Several court-related and public service programs that normally operate from the Historic Courthouse have been temporarily relocated after a critical breakdown of the building’s heating system forced the facility to close in late December.

County agencies moved quickly to shift staff and services into other courthouse and county buildings. This helps residents continue to access court services, family services and victim support with as little disruption as possible.
