St. Martin Courthouse Gets Makeover

The St. Martin Parish Courthouse is undergoing a much-needed renovation.

The $4.5 million project will add two new courtrooms, replace the building's electrical work and pipes, and restore the courthouse's original high ceilings, woodwork and marble floors.

St. Martin Parish President Guy Cormier says the renovation will allow the antebellum courthouse, one of only four remaining in the state, to move into the future.
