A ribbon-cutting for part of the new Tulsa Family Justice Center will be held this Friday. County Juvenile Justice Director Justin Jones says the additional space and upgraded facilities are sorely needed. Family and juvenile justice court and related facilities will be located in the new larger center at the old Storey Wrecker site near the jail.
After voters approved funding to replace the outdated center in west Tulsa, it took two years to settle funding and site disagreements. The courts and related areas will be ready Friday. The juvenile detention portion will not be ready until after Christmas.
