Athens courthouse remains closed due to bed bug infestation

It will be a few more days before the Athens-Clarke County courthouse resumes its normal operations after bedbugs were found in the facility.

The building was closed on July 22 to be treated for the outbreak. County officials had initially scheduled the courthouse to reopen on Monday morning, but employees in the building on Sunday night noticed more insects, leading to an extension of the closure.

Court officials say the building is expected to reopen on Wednesday, July 31.
