With lingering uncertainty about the future of the Santa Rosa County Courthouse, the city of Milton is continuing its efforts to keep the judicial center downtown.
The city will update the Santa Rosa County Commission on Monday on property acquisitions that may be used in the construction of a new downtown Milton courthouse — if the county chooses to build it there.
So far, the city of Milton has purchased two nearby parcels totaling $116,500: one on Elmira Street and one on Pine Street, according to City Manager Brian Watkins.
