New Sacramento County Courthouse Construction

Believe it or not, construction began on the Sacramento County Courthouse on November 16, 2020. Be sure to view the OxBlue webcam here

There seems to be a bit of confusion at to how tall it will be when completed. After I reached out to both the contractor, Clark Construction and the State of CA Dept. of General Services (DGS), they both confirmed with me the final height will be 270’. It’s remarkable that it finally got to this point after first being delayed in 2012 and again indefinitely in 2016 when then Governor Jerry Brown diverted funds from the courthouse bond to backfill the state’s budget and those funds were never returned. After a nine year delay, the state budget restored the funds in 2018 to begin the bidding process in 2019.
