Work has now started on the new courthouse for Clackamas County.

The courthouse is scheduled to open in mid-2025.

Officials working with Clackamas County say that the new courthouse will create hundreds of local jobs, and provide opportunities for local businesses as well.

Tootie Smith, Chair of the Clackamas County Commission says"We decided to take a look at our budget, right-size our budget, and concentrate on delivering services to the residents that they demand."

The courthouse hopes to provide resources like social services, behavioral and public health, juvenile and veterans services, and a family justice center.
