A Pierce County taskforce has released its final recommendations for replacing Remann Hall, its youth justice center.

In a new report, the county’s juvenile justice taskforce stated Remann Hall has reached the end of its functional life.

The taskforce recommended that a new facility be built at Remann Hall’s current location in Tacoma.

It also said the new justice center should include more outdoor space, larger courtrooms and multi-purpose areas for things like counseling and creative activities.
