The county commissioners on Tuesday approved a proposal to renovate the Larimer County Justice Center in downtown Fort Collins to create courtroom and office space for three new judges.

Renovation plans include adding more heating and air conditioning units to the building at 201 LaPorte Ave. The renovation is expected to cost up to $2.5 million.

Money for the project will come from a 0.2 percent sales tax that county voters approved in 1997 to build a new courthouse.

County officials hope to have the work completed by July, when the new judges are expected to come on board.
