Wayne County to dedicate new judicial building April 28 The public is invited to celebrate the official opening of the new Wayne County Justice Center on Thursday, April 28, at 1 p.m. EDT. The justice building is located at 125 W. Columbia Ave. in Monticello. ³I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who contributed to the construction and operation of the Wayne County Justice Center,² said Circuit Judge Vernon Miniard, who serves Russell and Wayne counties. ³This is a beautiful building and one that the citizens of Wayne and surrounding counties can enjoy for many years to come.² The judicial building contains approximately 29,000 square feet which provides space for Circuit and District court, the Office of Circuit Court Clerk and ancillary services, according to Garlan VanHook, general manager of facilities for the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) in Frankfort, which is the fiscal agent for the Kentucky Court of Justice and oversees courthouse construction statewide. The new court facility increases efficiency of services and public flow. It is equipped with modern computer, video and networking technology. The design also brings security to Wayne County courts through a single-point entry with magnetometers and security personnel. In addition, prisoners will be segregated from the public through the use of separate entrances, corridors and elevators. The Wayne County Justice Center was designed to meet the standards required by the Administrative Office of the Courts. CMW of Lexington served as the architect, Codell Construction of Winchester served as the construction manager and Ross Sinclair of Frankfort was the financial advisor. Chief Justice Joseph E. Lambert and Senate President David Williams will speak at the dedication. State legislators, circuit and district judges, county magistrates, AOC staff and local officials are also expected to attend. For more information, contact Peggy Sexton at (606) 340-8159.
