 Celebrating the Grand Re-opening of the Historic Courthouse
More than 150 government officials, former and current tenants and others gathered Nov. 9 at Pima County's Historic Courthouse for the grand re-opening of the iconic building.
Notably absent was County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry, who continues to recover from injuries he sustained in an Oct. 23 accident, but he was there in spirit as speakers in the video can attest.
Check out photos from the dedication.
The public also can attend a free series of talks and demonstrations taking place Nov. 15-19 at the repurposed Courthouse. Registration is required.
