Location: 500 Block of Cherry Street

Status: Failed

Developer: Polk County

Cost: $130 Million

Category: Office-Judicial

Etc:

• New Construction of an eight story, 450,000 annex to provide necessary space and future room for growth for the Polk County Courthouse
• A renovation to the existing 100+ year old courhouse would have been a component of the project
• Building would have occupied a large surface lot immediately to the south of the existing Polk County Courthouse
• After a failed voter referendum, the Polk County Courthouse project in its current form has failed. The need for courthouse space still exists and it is likely that additional solutions to the space crunch will be found in the future
