Stafford County Supervisors Weigh $209 Million Proposal for New Courthouse

At the November 7, 2024, Stafford County Board of Supervisors meeting, county officials unveiled a proposal to build a five-story, 196,000-square-foot courthouse across from the government center, a project estimated at $209 million. The ambitious plan aims to address critical space and security issues within Stafford’s judicial system and accommodate projected caseload growth in the coming years.

The proposed courthouse would replace the current facility, which has faced criticism for overcrowding, outdated design, and accessibility challenges. The new building, featuring modern security measures and expansion potential, is intended to meet the county’s needs for at least 12 years, according to county staff.
