State looking to replace Placerville courthouse
By Carlos Alcala, Sacramento Bee
A new Placerville courthouse site favored by locals is officially being considered, state officials announced Friday.
The Administrative Office of the Courts has been looking for a site to replace the nearly 100-year-old Main Street courthouse and two other facilities for the El Dorado Superior Court.
Late last year, Placerville and El Dorado County government leaders had expressed fears that the Office of the Courts favored sites outside Placerville.
