The BB&T building in downtown Macon now looks like the best choice for a new Bibb County courthouse site, the county commission chairman says.
Bibb County Commission Chairman Sam Hart said he now considers the BB&T building the top choice.
BB&T is on Second Street, next to the existing county courthouse.
Hart says no final decisions have been made, but said his second choice would be the Macon Telegraph building on Broadway.
Other possibilities include renovating the existing courthouse or building a new courthouse on Oglethorpe Street near the county jail.
Bibb County's judges say the current century-old courthouse at Second and Mulberry streets is inadequate and presents safety and security problems.
County officials say, if they pick a new court site, they'll consolidate other county offices into what is now the court building. That building is now undergoing a million-dollar renovation, work that county officials say is necessary whether or not the court remains there.
