KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Kalamazoo County has broken ground on its new modernized Courthouse, which should be completed in the spring of 2023.
The $97-million dollar project will be located next to the County’s Administration Building on Kalamazoo Avenue, across the street from the Park Trade Center. Given the poor conditions of their current facilities Chief Judge Alexander Lipsey says the new structure will be a “Godsend”.
Kalamazoo County Board Chair Tracy Hall says she was reluctant initially to support going ahead with the construction of a new County Justice Facility. She says one of the reasons she changed her mind was because of the progressive way the local courts are operated.
The new courthouse will be energy efficient, less expensive to maintain, and designed to handle the current and future technology.
