Maury County officials will move forward with plans to use American Rescue Act funds, rather than tax dollars, for a new justice center estimated to cost $30 million. The county budget committee looking at the project voted unanimously to use federal funding made available to localities in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Daily Herald reports. Some of the funding also will come from litigation and court fees and county adequate facilities taxes. The new center will be built on the site of the former Daily Herald building and will provide additional courtrooms and more space to conduct judicial operations.
