DES MOINES, Iowa — Voters will make a $132 million decision on Tuesday about plans to renovate and expand the Polk County Courthouse.
Attorneys, judges and their staff who spend time at the Polk County courthouse say they’ve simply outgrown the century-old building. Supporters of the plan say there needs to be a compehensive solution to safety, security and overcrowding issue in the existing building.
Tuesday, residents will vote on a plan to renovate the building and construct a new courthouse annex building across the street.
