ELLIS COUNTY – Ellis County broke ground on its new Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2 sub-courthouse this past Friday.
Reportedly, the facility is part of the Emerging Ellis County 2050 Strategic Plan.
Hopes are the new building will help increase accessibility for county government services in the Precinct 2 area.
Precinct 2’s Justice of the Peace is Jackie Miller Jr.
While Ellis Judge Todd Little did not return messages by press time for comment, a website Virtual Builders Exchange reported the project will include a “new-build, single story county government building of just over approximately 20,000 gross square feet. Building occupants include Precinct #2 Justice of the Peace, County clerks and records, Constables as well as offices for local State of Texas AgLife extension, and a multi-purpose room with uses that include voting for local elections and training sessions.”
The building will also include a courtroom and gallery and associated meeting rooms, main lobby, and grand public corridor.
