The old jail is being removed from the ground floor of the District Court building, forcing two county departments to relocate while work is done.
As demolition plans progress and the old jail is removed from the District Court building, two Churchill County departments have temporarily relocated.
The 10th District Court is now located on the first floor of the Justice Court building at 71 N. Maine St., (the white 1903 building with the columns out front), at the corner of Williams Avenue. The phone number remains 775-423-6088 while in the temporary location. Inquiries to the District Court may also be emailed to districtcourt@churchillcourts.org. Filing hours for District Court remain weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the exception of holidays.
The Court Services department has temporarily moved to 151 N. Maine St., filling extra space in the Public Defender’s office. Court Services’ phone number is 775-423-4222. Morning testing will still be conducted in the Justice Court building, weekdays from 8 to 8:30 a.m.
Anne McMillin is the county’s public information officer.
