Would you live in an old jail or courtrooms if they were turned into apartments? That’s what Muncie officials are hoping, as the city takes official ownership of the former downtown justice center. Muncie is now looking for a developer to turn it into housing or commercial space.
In a short virtual meeting on Wednesday, the East Central Indiana Regional Planning District voted to transfer ownership of the former justice center to the city of Muncie. The building has been empty since jail and court activities were moved to the former Wilson Middle School earlier this year. Now the city is looking for ideas on what the building could become, with the aim to keep it on the city’s tax rolls.

MUNCIE, Ind. Following Tuesday s guilty verdict in the murder trail of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, the Muncie Human Rights Commission has released a follow-up statement regarding the case.
The commission released a brief statement prior to the verdict in the case over the killing of George Floyd. In that statement the local HRC asked for calm as the nation awaited the results of the high-profile trial.
Chauvin, 45, was found guilty of second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, USA Today reported. George Floyd s death in police custody last May, while Chauvin knelt on his neck, led to widespread protests around the U.S. demanding racial justice and police accountability.
