County to weigh Justice Center finish date shift to November 2028
Teton County commissioners on Sept. 1 will review a Justice Center schedule update that stretches completion from December 2027 to November 2028, tied to added space like a third courtroom and victim services.
Teton County commissioners on Tuesday are set to review a schedule update that pushes the Justice Center’s planned construction finish from December 2027 to November 2028 staff report.
The report ties the longer timeline to added scope: a third courtroom plus new support space including a multi functional Municipal Court and jury assembly area, a Victims Services suite, and a small jail administrative suite with staff locker rooms. For those of us who spend workdays inside hotel hallways and bus schedules, the practical question is whether the county can stick to this new date and avoid another round of “temporary” arrangements for courts and services that drag on for years.
