Judicial Campus Ribbon Cutting

JC Ribbon CuttingThe new Morgan County Judicial Building, constructed adjacent to the county’s Administration Building in Martinsville, is a $46 million investment. The building is the cornerstone of a larger $72 million project, creating a new center for the county’s courts and completely renovating the existing, historic courthouse for administrative use.

Replacing the Morgan County Courthouse - which was constructed in 1857 - had been discussed for nearly 50 years.

On July 2, 2025, Morgan County dignitaries were joined by Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith to celebrate the grand opening of the new building. More than 125 joined the ceremony and toured the facility.
