*As of May 2022, the Washington County Board of Supervisors has approved the budget for the project. All contracts have been awarded. Construction will begin on July 1, 2022 and a groundbreaking ceremony will be held on July 5, 2022. The new building at the courthouse is slated to be completed in 2024 while all renovations to the existing courthouse are slated to be complete by January 15, 2025. The previous solicitation is listed below for reference: The original Washington County Courthouse is over 150 years old and was constructed in 1869 with additions constructed in the 1950s and 1990s and includes 23,853 SF of assignable SF (approximately 47,000 GSF) that houses Circuit Court, General District Court, Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court, Court Services, Prisoner Holding and Transportation, and other spaces within the courthouse. The Commonwealth’s Attorney formerly was in the Courthouse but has recently relocated to space outside the courthouse. There are significant capacity and space issues, security concerns, as well as parking issues. Inmates, judges, courtroom audience and participants, and courthouse staff use the same parking areas and hallways. Case load is growing, which is resulting in additional judges, however, there is no space available for additional courtrooms or support space. The historic front door to the courthouse is not used due to security concerns. The public enters the courthouse through the 1990s addition. The County would like to expand the courthouse facility and renovate spaces as necessary to address many issues.
