The 60,000 sq. ft, $22 million building took around eighteen months to construct and will house around 150 staff. For the first time, the County Attorney's Criminal Prosecution division, Administration, and Victim Advocates team will all be located in one building. Previously staff were housed in a number of locations across Florence. These locations will now be repurposed for other County Departments.

County Attorney Kent Volkmer said, "I want to thank everybody that was involved with this 18-month project, particularly the taxpayers. While a beautiful building that will serve us for a really long time, we did everything we could to ensure they receive value for their taxpayer dollars. My hope is that this stands as a beacon of justice for our community, and when they see it, people will think that this represents our community's commitment to justice and fairness."

Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Jeffrey McClure said, "There's a certain loss of efficiency of operations when staff are spread across multiple locations. Here, with staff all in the same building, and you're right here at the Courthouse, it cuts down a lot of travel time from other locations across Florence. So it's really great for efficiency."
