Lincoln County leaders are preparing for the future use of the courthouse building on the square in downtown Lincolnton. We are engaging the community at this time to gain your feedback. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

Quick History

Lincoln County District and Superior Court will be moving into a new facility near the Health Department on Gamble Drive in just 12 to 15 months. The existing 1923 courthouse at 1 Court Square in downtown Lincolnton will be vacated as part of the process. The county has established a committee made up of key stakeholders to help determine the future use of the historic building including County and City elected officials and staff, Lincoln Economic Development Association, Lincolnton-Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce, Lincolnton Downtown Development Association, and the Lincolnton Tourism Board. The building has been designated as a Local Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A report has been completed by County staff that provides examples of what other communities have done with former courthouse buildings in North Carolina and across the U.S.
