WPKY reported during a Tuesday night meeting of the Caldwell County Project Development Board the sites were announced.
They are: three properties located at 108, 110 and 112 West Market Street in downtown Princeton, the former Princeton Butler High School campus and a location at 1290 US 62 West.
Mark Bannister with the Kentucky Administration of the Courts said the architects from Sherman, Carter and Barnhart will evaluate the properties submitted to see if they are suitable for the new judicial center.
The committee will discuss the properties at its next meeting on March 2nd.
The new state-of-the-art judicial center project was approved by the Kentucky General Assembly as part of the Judicial Branch’s biennial budget for fiscal years 2024-2026.
Caldwell County will own the new judicial center but construction and maintenance costs will be covered by the Administrative Office of the Courts through the Judicial Branch budget.
The project has an estimated price tag of $33.1 million, with full state funding provided through annual debt service payments of up to $2.8 million.
