Problems arise over Henderson Justice Court costs

Citing escalating costs, Clark County commissioners balked Tuesday in giving Henderson additional money for new Justice Court space.

The commission in July 2004 approved $9.5 million for courtrooms, but city officials came back this year and said escalating construction costs would now require the county to put in at least $12.5 million -- and the city said it could not put a cost cap on the project.

The commission said the project funding could not go forward without a cost cap. The board directed staff to continue negotiating with Henderson officials.
