Rubio Applauds New Panama City Courthouse

Aug 15, 2018 | Press Releases

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released the following statement after the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) awarded a 20-year lease for a new federal courthouse in Panama City, Florida:

“I applaud the announcement of a 20-year lease for a much-needed new federal courthouse in Panama City. With the current courthouse in a dilapidated state and uncertainty surrounding its closure, local residents were faced with the possibility of having their cases determined in Pensacola or Tallahassee – an undue burden for those in both our criminal and civil systems. A new courthouse ensures the Panama City area will continue to carry out justice without hindrance or delay for years to come. I would like to thank the Bay County Chamber of Commerce for their tireless efforts to make this happen, and I look forward to working with them and the Bay County Board of Commissioners on the new courthouse.”

In July 2017, Rubio and Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) urged the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to enable a continued federal court presence in Panama City.
