Testing results for Juvenile Court building expected May 10
Shelby County Juvenile Court Clerk Gordon, who was elected in 2022, told The Daily Memphian last week that employees had been complaining to her directly about the building making them sick, which prompted the testing. She also said at the time she had not seen any results. (Aarron Fleming/The Daily Memphian)
Shelby County chief administrative officer Harold Collins expects a completed testing report on the facility — which was indefinitely closed April 25 after mold, asbestos and lead were discovered within it — “hopefully” Friday, May 10.
