The new Sonoma County Superior Courthouse in Santa Rosa is set to open after 15 years of planning and delays. The ribbon-cutting ceremony is on May 29, 2026, with full operations starting this summer.
- The seven-story Hall of Justice replaces a 60-year-old courthouse with peeling paint and leaky windows. - The $231.7 million project faced supply chain issues, soil problems, and material compliance setbacks.
- The facility includes 15 courtrooms, a 390-person jury room, children's waiting areas, and enhanced security. - California Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero will attend the ceremony; the old courthouse will be used for office space.
