Ellis County residents will get their first look at the newly remodeled Courthouse and Law Enforcement Center this Saturday at an open house.

The open house was postponed from earlier this year because of an impending snowstorm, and the open house was moved to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

District Court and court staff moved into the courthouse at the end of January and have been operating from there almost a month.

The Hays Municipal Court and the administrative offices of the Hays Police Department are scheduled to begin moving from the NEW building and into the Law Enforcement Center next week.

Both offices will close at 1 p.m. Thursday, March 3, and remain closed all day Friday, March 4.

They will open at the renovated courthouse, 105 W. 12th, on Monday, March 7, at 7 a.m.
