The historic Faulkner County Courthouse is in good enough shape structurally to serve the public “for decades to come,” according to a new report commissioned by preservationists.

County Attorney Stephan Hawks countered that the findings look more like “propaganda” than an engineering report.

In May, the county’s Quorum Court voted to build a criminal-justice center beside the county’s almost 3-year-old jail, eventually demolish the courthouse in downtown Conway and replace it with a new building.

Still, demolition is far from imminent.

“We are so many years away from even dealing with it, we most likely will not even have the same [quorum] court [by then],” Hawks said.
