Akron plans to tear down the former Morley Health Center downtown and erect a new courthouse for Akron Municipal Court in its place.
City Council is expected to talk about the proposed $21 million project Monday afternoon.
The site is on South Broadway Street across the street from the Summit County Courthouse.
The project would be paid for through court fees, according to legislation submitted to the council.
Municipal Court judges and officials have complained for years about their current cramped space inside the Harold K. Stubbs Justice Center on South High Street.
The Morley Health Center once housed the city health department. Summit County Public Health absorbed the city operation several years ago.
Summit County Public Health then consolidated its operations in late 2014 in the Fairway Center office building off West Market Street in West Akron.
