On Tuesday, Fleming County Project Development Board members selected "Fleming County Judicial Center" as the official name for the new $12 million, 32,000 square foot facility that will house multiple court-related services including three separate courtrooms and the Circuit Clerk's office.
"We have been calling it the Fleming County Judicial Center from the very beginning. I don't see any reason to fancy it up any," said PDB member Marvin Suit.
Other PDB members agreed and the name received unanimous approval
