New Courthouse

The new courthouse is at the crossroads of the city at Robinson Avenue and Broadway. The lower level serves both as a holding facility for prisoners awaiting their appearances before a judge as well as the City police department’s lock-up, a move that allows for increased operational efficiencies, safety, and security.
