Dedication Ceremony
On Sept. 27, 2011, the Western District celebrated the dedication of the Christopher S. Bond Courthouse and completion of construction ahead of schedule and under budget. Senators Bond and Blunt along with Western District judges cut the ribbon and welcomed visitors to the new facility. During the dedication ceremony, community leaders joined the judges to honor Senator Bond for his efforts to bring a new courthouse to mid-Missouri. In his welcoming remarks, Chief District Judge Fernando J. Gaitan Jr. recalled how the project progressed from ideas to drawings to models and finally to a new building. District Judge Nanette K. Laughrey thanked former Congressman Ike Skelton for his assistance as well as the many General Services Administration project members, JE Dunn Construction and court leaders such as Paige Wymore-Wynn, Brad Luecke and Laura Bax.
