Work continues on satellite court location

St. Joseph County commissioners were brought up to speed this week on a few major, county-backed projects.

During their executive committee meeting Tuesday, project manager Jennifer Sawyer provided updates on the Three Rivers satellite courthouse, the Centreville courthouse courts building and work at the St. Joseph County Jail.

Regarding the satellite location, which will be used for the county’s Friend of the Court and its Probate/Family Court, Sawyer said the first phase of interior work is complete. It includes drywall-finishing work at the former Three Rivers Public Library.

Meanwhile, doorframes and exterior windows are installed, interior and exterior painting is ongoing, rooftop units have been set, and the HVAC lines and ductwork going to the units are ongoing, as well.

Sawyer said the computer switchover from the Centreville courthouse to the Three Rivers site will be among the final tasks prior to opening the new location in late April.
