Commissioners and Architect Duncan Lyons present justice center plans at public forum.

The people’s building - The Bucks County commissioners hosted a public forum on February 18, where Duncan Lyons, architect from HOK, presented proposed plans for the new justice center. Also on hand was Jerry Anderson, director of operations who is overseeing the project. About 75 attendees viewed the plans and had an opportunity to pose questions to Anderson, Lyons, and other officials, including Commissioners Charles H. Martin, chairman, and Jim Cawley, as well as President Judge Susan Scott. Cawley emphasized the interactive spirit of the forum. “This is the people’s building. Those who are paying to build it must have a say.”  About 15 of the attendees had questions or comments ranging in topic from building aesthetics and attorney work space, to historic artifact incorporation, parking and traffic flow.  (At podium, l-r, Jerry Anderson, Commissioner Martin and Duncan Lyons address citizen questions.)
