The Athens-Clarke County Courthouse is mostly back up and operating following additional bed bug treatments, county officials announced in a news release. The building reopened Wednesday, July 31, after being closed for over a week due to an infestation.
According to the release, recent inspections on July 30 found no bed bug activity on any of the building’s floors. However, as a precaution after further treatments, the Municipal Court and Law Library will remain closed until Monday, August 5, at 8 a.m.
All other courts reopened on July 31. Those with court dates between July 22 and 31 will be notified of their rescheduled court dates via mail, county officials said.
Any canceled jury trials or Municipal Court Hearings will be posted to the Athens-Clarke County Government website (accgov.com/courts) and the Municipal Court website (accgov.com/municipalcourt), as well as through the notification service.
For rescheduling or contact updates, individuals may also reach out directly to the relevant court.
