The renovation and expansion of the Junction City Municipal Court building located at 701 north Jefferson is expected to be substantialy complete on September 1st.

Tyler Ficken, City Clerk confirmed the new completion date Friday,”after they do the punch list we expect to get in there.”

The project originally had a completion date of March 31st of this year but due to a delay in the manufacturing of the new metal building system it was delayed for well over 110 days.

Despite the delays the project is expected to come in at the budgeted price of approximately $1.1 million. When complete will be a multi-use facility.

“It’s going to house the City Commission meetings, the Metropolitan Planning Organization and Board of Zoning Appeals meetings, and mostly the Municipal Court operations.”

The contractor on the project is Cheney Construction, and the architect is Bruce McMillan AIA Architects.
