On March 24, Austin City Council will, once again, consider approving actions to permanently move the Downtown Austin Community Court to the former City Municipal Building at 124 West Eighth Street. Key downtown stakeholders, residents, property owners, and business operators oppose the proposed actions, which were postponed by city council on Dec. 2, Jan. 27 and Feb. 17.
The property is in the heart of downtown at the northeast corner of Eighth and Colorado Streets. It was the location of the first Austin-based Texas State Capitol until 1856 when the State gave the property to the city to use . . .
