Lane County Courthouse<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORKING ON SOLUTIONS — <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The County is considering the challenges the current Courthouse building poses. Inspections and reviews of the current building have made one thing clear: the old building can\u2019t responsibly be salvaged for this use \u2013 it would cost more to work with the existing building and there\u2019s simply not enough space to make it work.<\/strong> Instead, discussion is focused on building a new center for justice on the downtown block to the east of the Public Service Building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FUNDING IMPROVEMENTS — <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The County expects to receive state match funding for up to half of the cost to construct the court-related parts of the building \u2014 a significant part of the overall cost. The remainder of the cost would be paid by Lane County through a variety of sources, including one-time funding, potential grants, and possible community support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GET INVOLVED — <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the building is used by more than 600 people every day, many Lane County residents have never been into the Courthouse, and from the outside, the challenges aren\u2019t clear. Over the coming months, watch for opportunities to tour the building or participate in community conversations about the project. To be notified of these opportunities, or to receive updates, please sign up for email updates on our website: lanecounty.org\/ courthouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nMAKE SPACE FOR JUSTICE LANE COUNTY COURTHOUSE UPDATE\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just any building \u2013 this is the public\u2019s Courthouse \u2013 where people seek justice and resolution. Making sure it is safe, accessible and allows the justice system to proceed efficiently is essential to democracy in Lane County.\u201d \u2014 District Attorney Patty Perlow\u201c <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lane County\u2019s Courthouse is in need of replacement, and the County is likely to ask voters to consider a bond measure for partial funding. Before it goes to voters for a decision, the County wants to be certain that all residents understand the situation and have the information they need in order to make an informed decision.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
