IT’S JUDGEMENT TIME FOR THE MONTEREY COUNTY COURTHOUSE. THE SUPERIOR COURT THERE RECCOMENDS BUILDING TWO COURTHOUSES; ONE IN GREENFIELD AND THE OTHER ON THE SITE OF THE FORMER FORT ORD.
THE RECOMMENDATION SAYS THE GREENFIELD COURTHOUSE WOULD BENEFIT SOUTHERN MONTEREY COUNTY WITH A FULL TIME COURTROOM, SELF-HELP SERVICES AND A “COURTROOM OF THE FUTURE.”
THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA HAS THE FINAL SAY ON WHETHER OR NOT MONTEREY COUNTY WILL HAVE TWO COURTHOUSES.
