Ind. Courts - "New federal courts building planned in Terre Haute"

Per the AP:

TERRE HAUTE - A downtown site has been selected as the location for a new building that will house federal courts and other agencies.

The U.S. General Services Administration announced Wednesday it had agreed to lease the building from Thompson Thrift Development, a Terre Haute-based real estate firm.

The new building would replace the city's existing federal building that is to be turned over to Indiana State University as the new site for its College of Business.

Federal officials had announced plans in 2005 to close the court office, but reversed that decision to allow city officials time to find a new location. * * *

The federal court for the Southern District of Indiana covers about the southern two-thirds of the state, with other court offices at Indianapolis, Evansville and New Albany. The Terre Haute court typically has a part-time magistrate judge assigned to it.

A more detailed story, by Howard Greninger of the Terre Haute Trib-Star, is available here.
