The Hardin County Attorney’s Office will be moving out of the former courthouse to its new location in two phases at the end of the month. “We are moving our office beginning on February 24th. We’re splitting our office into two parts to do that move, so that we don’t have to shut down completely. On Friday, February 24th and Monday February 27th, our Child Support Division will shut down in order to move, but the other division will remain open. And then on Friday, March, 3rd and Monday, March 6, the Criminal and Civil Division will do the same. Then we’ll all be open at the same location at 117 North. Main on March 7,” said County Attorney Jenny Oldham. The former courthouse was purchased by Weyland Ventures LLC who will be developing the property into a boutique hotel with two dozen rooms, restaurant and bar which is expected to open in 2024.
