To sustain this momentum, four new courthouses are set to rise in St. Elizabeth, St. Ann, Westmoreland, and Trelawny, backed by NaRRA for long-term durability. The St. Thomas Parish Court is targeted for early 2025 launch, while private partnerships aim to build modern facilities in Manchester, St. Catherine, and even the Supreme Court. Upgrades are already underway in Clarendon and Linstead, with renovations planned for St. James, Hanover, and Portland. Even older, mixed-use courts like Hanover Family Court and Santa Cruz in St. Elizabeth are getting the attention they deserve—because justice shouldn’t wait.
