County invests $11M to renovate, expand Brunswick County courthouse

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Brunswick County officials want a bigger courthouse and has awarded a construction company $11 million to do the job.

County spokeswoman Meagan Kacsak says the Board of Commissioners approved this award to Monteith Construction Company to add a 3-story addition to the north end of the building and do some renovations to the current building.

Renovations include updating the south facing wall, reinforcing existing floor structure, installing a mobile storage shelving system and installing an exit turnstile.

The project is expected to take about two years to finish.

Kacsak says this expansion follows the finish of the new courthouse parking lot that was opened in early January.
