Fort Bend County continues to make progress on new courtrooms to keep up with the growing population.
Current situation
At a March 13 Commissioners Court meeting, commissioners approved PGAL as the professional design contractor for three new courtrooms on the first floor of the Fort Bend County Justice Center in Richmond.
The first floor space was built with two shelled-out courtrooms to accommodate future growth, and the third courtroom will be in the space that previously served as office spaces until the addition of the administration building in 2018, according to agenda documents. The design is scheduled to be completed by this summer and cost no more than $382,500.
