The Courthouse Referendum, on the ballot for the general election on November 8, 2022, will allow Augusta County voters to decide where to build the new courthouse building – on the site of the current district courts building in downtown Staunton or in Augusta County near the Government Center in Verona.

The referendum on the ballot will read as follows:

Under Virginia law, Augusta County must provide an adequate court facility for the Augusta County Courts. To accomplish that purpose:

Shall the county courthouse be relocated to Augusta County at a cost of $80,026,447?

Shall the county courthouse remain in the City of Staunton at a cost of $103,855,525?

Information about the Referendum and both courthouse project proposals can be found at www.AugustaCountyVA.gov/referendum [3].
