Law Building Is Redesigned In Douglas County
The county redesigns the judicial law enforcement building after bond defeat. Architect Dick Peters compares the shift to building an airplane from a car as floor plans move to November completion. The basement remains, two stories minus three, with cost capping at 3.6 million and total project at 4.5 million. Completion slips from April 1976 to January 1976 due to delays while jail program space remains undefined amid authority issues.
