The multi-million-dollar investment will help cover project costs, including construction.
During Monday evening's Craighead County Quorum Court meeting, $5 million in funding from the county’s fund was approved for expansion.
The expansion of the courthouse annex was announced in February, with plans for a safe room and a new spacious jury-sized courtroom for trials. Craighead County Judge Marvin Day told KJNB that the overall costs are roughly $14 million. The county judge has been working with project architect Brackett-Krennerich and Associates to reduce that price tag.
The new three-story, 34,000-square foot annex will stand at the corners of Madison Street and Washington Avenue in Jonesboro, formally the old Craighead County Jail site.The courthouse annex expansion is expected to be complete by February of 2025.
