Main Courthouse Entrance Closed

Posted by Board of Supervisors

The main entrance to the Pottawattamie County Courthouse is temporarily closed to make way for a 22,000 square foot addition and new parking lot.

Due to this construction, the main entrance is closed to pedestrian traffic.  All pedestrian traffic must enter the Courthouse via the southwest entrance on 6th Street.  The new parking lot on the east side of the Courthouse is open, and no ticket is needed for entry or exit at this time.

The new addition will help residents access more County services in a single location.  The addition will create space to move the Planning and Zoning Department and the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Department into the building from the Annex.  The new addition will also create more space for the Buildings and Grounds department and Court Security.

Work is scheduled to be completed in January 2024.

We appreciate your patience during construction.
