Court Facilities Standards Committee to review judicial center projects planned for Bracken and Lawrence counties

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The Court Facilities Standards Committee will meet to discuss judicial center projects planned for Bracken and Lawrence counties at 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday, July 20, in Frankfort. The meeting will take place in the Administrative Office of the Courts Building 12 conference room at 100 Millcreek Park. 

The meeting is open to the public.

Under the original project plans for the judicial centers, the Bracken County facility would be 38,400 square feet with an estimated total project cost of $15.6 million and the Lawrence County facility would be 39,444 square feet with an estimated total project cost of $16.2 million. The projects were among the five judicial center projects authorized by the 2008 General Assembly.

The Court Facilities Standards Committee is a 10-member body comprised of representatives from the Kentucky Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of government and a county official appointed by the governor. The committee reviews design plans, cost estimates and financing proposals for new court facilities statewide. The 10-member committee includes Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr., AOC Director Laurie K. Dudgeon, Sen. Tom Jensen and Rep. John Tilley.

The Court Facilities Standards Committee operates under the auspices of the AOC in Frankfort, which is the operational arm of the Kentucky Court of Justice. The AOC Office of Budget and Policy, Division of Capital Construction, oversees court facility construction throughout the commonwealth.
