Construction of an addition onto the Ocean County Justice Complex could begin as early as the spring after the Board of Commissioners on Wednesday awarded a $75 million contract to a Philadelphia builder for the planned expansion.
Ocean County Administrator Michael J. Fiure said that if the project remains on its current schedule, the four-story annex, which will add 124,214 square feet of floor space, should be completed sometime in 2026. Ernest Bock & Sons Inc., the lowest qualified bidder was named as the contractor.
