County Commissioners still intend to move forward on expansion of the Hamilton County Judicial Center, but the project will be delayed.  According to my news gathering partner, The Hamilton County Reporter,  the bids came in $311,000 more than anticipated.

Commissioners say they will take another look at the project and plan to accept another round of bids later this year or in early 2019.  The estimated $24.17 million expansion plan would add courts and move the county auditor, recorder and assessor from the historic downtown Noblesville courthouse to the newly-expanded Judicial Center.

Meanwhile, the county continues with plans to move utilities on the current Judicial Center complex in order to prepare for the planned expansion.
