Cobb County dignitaries gathered recently to break ground on the new courthouse in Marietta. The design is reminiscent of the old courthouse, complete with a clock tower. The 229,000 square foot building will have 11 courtrooms, combining all of the county’s court services on one campus and allowing Juvenile Court to move to downtown Marietta.
The new building will also provide state-of-the-art security and a larger jury assembly room. The "green" courthouse will be constructed according to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification standards, saving energy and operational costs.
SPLOST funds of $63 million are funding the project and the building is slated for completion in spring 2011.
