Texas courthouse empty since 1977 set for demolition after $120m renovation estimate

In a decisive move, Nueces County officials have voted unanimously to proceed with the demolition of the aged 1914 courthouse, which has seen a decline over the decades and thwarted multiple redevelopment attempts. Expected to last around 130 days, the demolition aims to create opportunities for future development while eliminating continuous security expenses for taxpayers. While some historical artifacts will be saved, extensive asbestos contamination complicates the safe removal process.
