Plans are still moving forward for construction of a new Rutherford County Judicial Building, which will be built across the street from the Health Department. One of the main concerns addresses the security of those who are headed to court and the security of inmates. Rutherford County Mayor Ernest Burgess stated...

Current businesses like MOAB that are located on the future construction site will be torn down in January of 2016, which will make way for the construction of the new court building.

The current judicial building on the local square will be used as county office space. The District Attorney office, which was originally built as a bank in the early 1900's, may be torn down as it is in dire need of repair. However, that has not officially been decided. If it is torn down, it could be used as green space.
