Courthouse parking lot scheduled to be closed to install stormwater utilities

February 3, 2026 9:39 am

The small parking lot on the south side of the historic Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St., is scheduled to be closed Thursday, Feb. 5, through Sunday, Feb. 8, to install stormwater utilities that are needed due to the expansion of the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center (JLEC).

With significant construction happening around the courthouse and JLEC, we appreciate the community’s patience as this work progresses.
