Due to ceremonies related to the gubernatorial inauguration of Matt Meyer, operations at the
Kent County Courthouse will be limited on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025. Traffic disruptions and significant parking restrictions around the Kent County Courthouse are expected to make it difficult for individuals to get to the courthouse on that day, so many proceedings scheduled for Jan. 21, 2025 will be rescheduled or postponed.

If you have a proceeding scheduled at the courthouse on Jan. 21, 2025, please check with your attorneys or the relevant court clerk to see if it has been rescheduled.
