City Council Approves Contract for Courthouse Renovation Schematic Design

The City Council approved a contract amendment with Moseley Incorporated for schematic design services related to the courthouse renovation. This action is a necessary step to address a state-mandated 'order to show cause' requiring the city's courthouse facilities to meet Virginia's mandated standards. The project aims to bring the circuit court, general district court, and juvenile and domestic relations district court facilities into compliance, addressing deficiencies in space, circulation, and building systems. The schematic design phase is crucial for developing a plan for either renovation or new construction, with a deadline of September 19th to submit plans to the Commonwealth.
