Three Sarpy County offices moving to new location on courthouse campus

Three Sarpy County government offices are moving to a new location in the courthouse. According to the Sarpy County Board of Commissioners, the Community Corrections, Human Resources and Human Services offices will open in their new location on the second floor of the Sarpy County Courthouse on Monday, Sept. 12. The Board of Commissioners says the move is part of a long-term plan to improve the courthouse campus. “Residents can continue to expect great service from these county offices, just at a new location,” said Don Kelly, chair of the Sarpy County Board of Commissioners.

The offices are moving because they were in the East Annex building of the courthouse’s campus. The East Annex is being demolished to build a parking lot. The parking lot is being built to help with a parking shortage, as the new construction of the Sarpy County Correctional Center was in an existing parking lot. Demolition of the East Annex is expected to start this month. The Sarpy County Courthouse is located at 1210 Golden Gate Drive in Papillion.

New Sarpy County correctional center officially opens



Sarpy County officially opened its new correctional center on Tuesday. The 150,000-square-foot facility is located near 84th Street and Highway 370. The county broke ground on the new jail more than two years ago.

Along with correctional services, it also offers the state's first forensic psychiatry fellowship program. That partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center aims to treat inmates with mental illness while training the next generation of psychiatrists.

Not technically Midlands Place as Midlands Place is in the SEC of that intersection and the new jail is in the NEC.

I split it off for now. Not sure what happened to our original thread on this topic went, I can't find it. If someone finds it we can merge the two,

I worked in the Sarpy County Courthouse for 36 years. You can imagine the changes I saw to the campus over those years. Just mind boggling. Sadly, the campus grew to be a jumbled mess of offices scattered in seemingly random order. Citizens would routinely stop me in the parking lot to ask directions to this office or another, and half the time I had trouble recalling where the particular office happened to be located, as office kept moving like pieces on a chess board. Now some of the offices have moved a mile or so to the north, while the sheriff’s office is 3 miles to the south. And I believe the DMV office is now down on about 48th Street.
In my humble opinion the new jail could not have been designed or constructed to look more abysmal if prize money had been awarded for the worst looking public building. It dwarfs the actual Hall of Justice to which it is attached, much like a tail wagging the dog.
