Renovation planned for Justice Court building

The Neshoba County Justice Court building on Byrd Avenue across from the Neshoba County Courthouse will be undergoing an exterior renovation in the coming months.

“We are going to redo the exterior of the Justice Court building including the awning because it is in bad shape,” said County Administrator Jeff Mayo. “All of the plaster will be fixed and painted with a new awning being installed. There will be a new door on the side which is in bad shape.”

Justice Court has been using the building since approximately 2003, Mayo said. The two justice court judges along with one clerk and two deputy clerks work in the building.

There is no inside work schedule. The roof of the building was replaced two years ago. Bids are expected to be in for review around the middle of November.

When completed, the improved appearance will fit in with the Congress of Country Music project, which is across the street, officials said.
