Board approves security-related variances for the new Potter County Courthouse
Potter County's new courthouse needed variances from the downtown standards for setback, wall height and transparency, an added driveway for prisoner pickup and drop-off, and tree spacing, which staff described as security and design needs. The board approved all of them unanimously. The project team said construction would be bid over the summer, take 18 to 24 months, and the old building would be torn down for surface parking.[1]
