Jamerson-Lewis Construction is excited to kick off the Botetourt County Circuit Courthouse project in Fincastle, Virginia. After being awarded the general construction contract in December 2024, our team is focused on delivering a modern facility that will serve the community for years to come.

The project officially started on January 20, 2025, and is expected to wrap up by July 1, 2027. The first phase involves moving the historic Breckinridge Law Office and Hotel structure, with completion targeted for the end of July 2025. Afterward, the current courthouse will be taken down by the end of the year.

We know how important this project is for Fincastle’s residents and are working hard to keep disruptions to a minimum. While we can’t set specific routes, we’re encouraging crews to use Main Street and avoid other town roads when possible. Drivers might encounter occasional one-lane closures on Roanoke Street between the Registrar’s Office and the courthouse, but we’ll give plenty of notice for any additional road closures.

Preserving Fincastle’s heritage is a top priority. We’re working closely with local officials to secure and protect 32 historical items from the existing buildings. The courthouse bell and beam will be featured in a temporary cupola so these important pieces remain part of the courthouse’s future.

We’re proud to be part of this meaningful project and will keep the community updated as we hit major milestones.

At Jamerson-Lewis Construction, we are committed to building spaces that not only serve communities but also honor their history. Our mission is to deliver high-quality, innovative construction solutions while preserving the integrity of the places we work in. We look forward to completing this project and continuing to support the growth of Fincastle and beyond.
