The process leading to construction of a new Union County Courthouse continues to move forward.

An update on the work was shared at this week's regular meeting of the Union County Board of Commissioners.

The meeting was Monday afternoon at the Union County Courthouse in Jonesboro.

In February, Union County voters approved a local sales tax increase which will help to fund the construction of a new courthouse.

Members of a local courthouse committee and other county officials had visited courthouses in Chester and Waterloo.
