Still need to come downtown? Here is what you need to know:

There will be no street parking available around the courthouse, we suggest taking a free shuttle and walking to the courthouse, and you will have to show paperwork that you have business with the county in order to get through the barricades.

Go ahead and take care of your business now and avoid the July 2 – July 17 window when these restrictions will be put in place.
