Repurposing the Sonoita Courthouse

It been over a year and a half since the gavel fell for the last time at Eastern Santa Cruz County Justice Court in Sonoita. A vacant symbol of our community's loss, the building is now a storage facility for excess county equipment, our library, and a few county offices.
Kat Crockett and George Whitmill are seeking community input on how to repurpose this space. We want to hear what you have say, refine the concept, identify volunteers, and coordinate with the county. Let’s turn our loss into a win! The Courthouse Facility is 6,400 square feet and can accommodate many purposes.
Please share your ideas, comments, concerns and volunteer for the way ahead.

*Note the Library and county offices will remain

VISITOR CENTER? The beauty of this area attracts cyclists, hikers, birders, hunters, and over 250K tourists per year visiting wine country. A central facility with information on events throughout Elgin, Sonoita, Patagonia, the lakes and Empire Ranch would benefit our fairgrounds, restaurants, bed and breakfast facilities, markets and other community assets, and improve our economy and the County’s. *

I think this is a great idea

COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER? The courtroom could be useful for training, meeting space, tax assistance resources, health and wellness information, flu shots, and general information and uses of interest to the community and space would remain available for its intended use. *

PERMANENT FARMER’S MARKET? An indoor market would be viable year-round and if open on Saturday, would encourage locals and tourists to stop in and buy a snack, fresh produce, homemade soap, cottage foods, or local crafts. *

AN OUTDOOR PARK AND FISHING HOLE? The outdoor area surrounding the building could be cleaned up and park benches and picnic tables added providing a place to enjoy a snack from the farmer's market. The small pond could be stocked with fish to provide a place for smaller children to cast a rod, provided this does not interfere with other uses. *

Optional: Have another idea or suggestions?
