Magistrate Mike Flanigan and Judge John Frazier describe Mercer County magistrate offices across from the courthouse as dilapidated. They cite leaks, nonfunctional doors, a $7,000 ramp, untrustworthy power, and prior renovations totaling about $100,000. Officials plan temporary relocation to council chambers and other offices while awaiting a new courthouse annex.
