Aransas County Celebrates Opening of New Courthouse and Community Center

Aransas County officials, community members, and project partners recently gathered to celebrate the opening of the new Aransas County Courthouse and Community Center, marking a major milestone in the county’s long-term recovery following Hurricane Harvey.

Its completion represents years of careful planning, coordination, and perseverance, as county leaders worked to restore a permanent home for essential public services while supporting broader community recovery efforts.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony honored the collaborative effort behind the project and highlighted the courthouse’s role as a cornerstone for downtown Rockport and the surrounding region. For many in attendance, the building symbolized progress, resilience, and a renewed sense of stability after years of rebuilding.

The courthouse now stands as both a center for public service and a lasting symbol of Aransas County’s determination to move forward.

PGAL Principal Paul Bonnette shared, “This courthouse stands as a reminder of how much can be accomplished through shared commitment and dedication. It’s an honor to help deliver a project that will support the community well into the future.”
