\n

The Hansen Courthouse has served Teton County for decades. However, aging infrastructure, high maintenance costs, and safety concerns mean it is no longer suited for community needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Why replace the courthouse?<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
    \n
  • Outdated and overcrowded<\/li>\n
  • Safety risks transporting inmates downtown<\/li>\n
  • Non-compliant with ADA standards<\/li>\n
  • Costly to maintain and upgrade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    Transition Plan<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
      \n
    • Services will relocate into the new Justice Center<\/li>\n
    • Demolition avoids millions in redundant costs<\/li>\n
    • Historical elements documented and preserved where possible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
