eslagle@dailynewsemail.com The Magisterial District Court
office in Elizabeth Township soon will
move to a new location in Forward
Township . Magisterial District Judge
Beth Scagline Mills said she recently got word from Allegheny County the
local court will vacate its office in Swiss Alpine Village as of June 1
and move into a new facility in the Curves Building along Route 51 in
Forward Township
. The lease has been approved, Mills said on Wednesday. Its just a
matter of getting |

it signed. The court has been shopping for a new home since last July
and has been renting its current office on a month-to month basis. Its
definitely a relief (to be moving) because now there will be more room,
Mills said. The new location will provide separate rooms for holding
prisoners, court negotiations, administrative offices and judges
chambers all things the current office lacks. Court employees plan to
tour the new offices Friday to assess its needs. Emil Burak, who chairs
the Elizabeth Township Authority which
owns the village, said he's also received word from Allegheny County the
court will be moving out in June. He said he's had three potential
tenants express interest in the space currently used by the court.
Having a firm date from the county will help the authority find a new
tenant, he said. |
