The opening of the new Middlesex County Family signaled the completion of a true government district for the City of New Brunswick. Resources were leveraged to amplify the overall economic impact of this redevelopment project and to ensure that a number of development goals were met. In addition to the state-of-the-art courthouse, the mixed-use facility includes street level retail space to service the immediate neighborhood, visitors, attorneys, and staff at the new courthouse, as well as office space to house the New Brunswick campus of Middlesex County College.
