Darke Co. To Get New Courts Building

As expected the proposed construction of a new courts building in Darke County moved another step forward.

On Wednesday, the Darke County Commissioners approved a resolution to proceed with the $9 million project.

The new courts building will be built behind the Darke County Courthouse in downtown Greenville. It will house the municipal court, juvenile/probate court and the common pleas court.

Half of the half percent additional sales tax, already being collected in Darke County will be earmarked for the project.

County commissioners said it is the right thing to do and it is the right time.
