As an implicit sign that the Barren County Judicial Center is progressing as planned, the Project Development Board members unanimously agreed to have one meeting a month instead of two at their Feb. 25 meeting.
The center is currently scheduled to be completed by the summer of 2028, according to prior reporting. The new Barren County Judicial Center is intended to serve as a central hub for court operations and related judicial services once construction is finished.
After reviewing progress, the board voted unanimously to change its meeting schedule from twice a month to once a month.
According to minutes from the board’s Feb. 11 meeting, Barren County Circuit Court Judge John Alexander, who serves on the Project Development Board, commented that fewer meetings would be sufficient because the project is transitioning into its next phase. That discussion laid the groundwork for the formal vote on Feb. 25. The reduction in meetings is being treated by board members as an implicit sign that the project is proceeding as planned and does not require as frequent oversight as in earlier stages. Local officials say keeping the public informed about the status of the judicial center remains a priority, even with the scaled-back meeting schedule.
