Lenexa’s new justice center is going to cost $8 million more than initially anticipated. That’s according to city staff and construction and design representatives on the project, who went over the conceptual budget with the Lenexa City Council last week at Thompson Barn. The city council on Tuesday unanimously approved a construction agreement with J.E. Dunn Construction Company based on the increased project costs. The city council also agreed to increase the budget for the project, which will now run at an estimated $73 million. Located on the southwest corner of Prairie Star Parkway and Britton Street, the Lenexa Justice Center will serve as a centralized public safety complex to include a new headquarters for the Lenexa Police Department and the municipal court.
