New Courthouse in Madison County
The current courthouse was built in 1967, which means by the time the new courthouse is completed, it will have stood longer than the original courthouse, which was built in 1914.
Some issues with the current facility include ADA compliance, plumbing issues, HVAC problems and electrical upgrade needs. The County Commission will look at multiple design options, including the possibility of splitting the courthouse into two buildings.
The project is expected to take approximately five years to complete.
