Construction vehicles work on the long-awaited new Nassau County Family Court at the former site of the Social Services Department in Garden City. Plans to renovate the Family Court building in Westbury to resolve overcrowding issues were scrapped in 2010 in favor of renovating the old Social Services location, which is adjacent to the Supreme Court and was abandoned and for sale. Below is an artist’s rendering of the completed facility.

“We are looking forward to the completion of the construction project and serving the residents of Nassau County in a newly renovated and comfortable facility,” said Administrative Judge Thomas A. Adams. Ronald Younkins, executive director of the Office of Court Administration, estimated the project would be finished in early 2017.
