Referred to as the West Block (10th St. and 11th Ave.), this block will be the location of the new Weld County Justice Center. This week, the City of Greeley began demolition of the former Greeley United Methodist Church as well as the house to the west. This is part of an agreement with Weld County for a land swap, which helps both the city and the county move forward with their respective downtown projects. You can read more about this agreement on the county’s judicial website athttps://wcjc.weld.gov/News-Articles/News-and-Information/Weld-County-Judicial-Center-moves-forward. You can view the demolition from camera 1 wcjc.weld.gov/Home .

Will any existing businesses or residents be displaced for this project?
The site required the acquisition of several commercial properties and residential buildings. All acquisitions were negotiated through voluntary purchase agreements with willing sellers, and residents were provided appropriate notice and relocation time. A portion of the site was acquired by the City of Greeley and is being transferred to the County as part of a land swap agreement between the two parties. Construction will bring significant economic activity to the area through local jobs, trades, and suppliers. Long term, the daily flow of employees, jurors, attorneys, and visitors to the campus will provide sustained support for nearby businesses.

Why was downtown Greeley selected for the new Justice Center?
Downtown Greeley was selected following an evaluation of multiple site options as part of the county’s broader planning process. Key factors included proximity to existing county services, accessibility for the public, and the ability to support long-term operational needs. Locating the Justice Center downtown also maintains the county’s civic presence in the community’s core, where courts and related services have historically been centered. The project is being guided by thoughtful planning, design, and due diligence to ensure the Justice Center is modern, functional, and built to serve long-term needs without being excessive. This includes studying comparable facilities and engaging a judicial center-specific architect to bring proven expertise to the project. The intent is to incorporate appropriate technologies and design elements that improve operations, security, and user experience, while avoiding an overbuilt or “spectacle” facility. This reflects a balanced investment in practical, efficient infrastructure aligned with the county’s values.
