People in Lone Tree came together on Thursday night to block a proposal to move the location of the new Douglas County Probation Office.
It all started in 2018 when county commissioners discussed leaving the 18th Judicial District.
“The 18th Judicial District was Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln,” said Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas. “We got a law passed in 2020 that will create this brand new district in 2025.”
This new district would be the 23rd Judicial District, which would cater more specifically to the needs of people from Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.
