Several Lone Tree residents are pushing back against one of the proposed locations for an office that will host the brand new 23rd Judicial District, which will encompass Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.
The new office will also offer pre-trial and probation services.
The pushback from residents is directed at locating the office at One Lincoln Station, a building inside a business park just east of the Heritage Hills neighborhood. The location offers access to the E line of the Regional Transportation District rail system and Interstate 25.
The residents, particularly those in the Heritage Hills neighborhood, accused the Douglas County Commission of lacking transparency and argued that the new office would increase crime in the area.
