Former Gov. Nathan Deal rose before dawn Wednesday at his retirement home on the banks of the Chattahoochee River and rode the 95 miles or so to downtown Atlanta for a first look inside the new Nathan Deal Judicial Center.
Guided by Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold Melton, the lawyer and former governor, congressman, state legislator and juvenile court judge toured the building that bears his name and for which he secured the $131 million in funding for its design and construction. The six-story, 215,000-square-foot center is the state’s first dedicated home for the Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.
