New Nassau courthouse project nearly $47 million over budget

Construction began in 2014 on a new family and matrimonial courthouse in Mineola. Six years later, the project has an estimated cost of $214.6 million and the county hopes to open the 255,000-square-foot building in late 2021. Newsday got a tour of the site on Feb. 3 with Brian Schneider, Nassau County's deputy county executive for Parks and Public Works. Credit: Howard Schnapp
