# Wright County Justice Center *A public building in Wright County, Minnesota, whose cost and size are on the project record and whose authorization mechanism is not.* The Wright County Justice Center is a public building in Wright County, [[Minnesota]]. A Contegrity Group project record gives its size as about 150,562 square feet on four levels and its construction budget as $42.9 million.[^1] The research dossier behind this record cites that project record for the figures and grades it C. No county budget, bond document or other primary source for the figures is in the record.[^1] The dossier names two ways the construction could have been authorized: a public referendum, or capital improvement bonds under Minn. Stat. §373.40.[^1][^2] It states that the bonding mechanism is not on the retrievable record and logs the question as master-register gap G-5.[^1] The record does not establish which mechanism was used. ## What The building is described as approximately 150,562 square feet on four levels.[^1] The only source for this description is the Contegrity Group project record, which the dossier grades C.[^1] ## How much The construction budget is cited at $42.9 million in the Contegrity Group project record.[^1] The project's at-issue entry gives the same cost as "roughly $42.9 million" and rests on that single source, from the domain contegritygroup.com.[^1] No other cost figure appears in the record, and no primary government document confirming the figure is in the pack. ## How The dossier gives two candidate financing mechanisms: a referendum, or capital improvement bonds issued under Minn. Stat. §373.40.[^1] The statute is cited to the Revisor of Statutes.[^2] The dossier states that the mechanism actually used is not on the retrievable record. The record does not show whether the county issued bonds under §373.40, held a referendum, or financed the building another way.[^1][^2] ## In the at-issue record The project's at-issue entry (AI-Humphrey-044) pairs the building's cost and floor area with the absence of a retrievable authorization record.[^1] It states that whether the building "went to a referendum or was issued as capital improvement bonds without a public vote" is not on the record the research could reach. It tags the matter as an open gap, G-5.[^1][^2] The entry names a July 2026 White House Government Transparency Task Force fact sheet as its anchor document.[^3] The pack does not carry the text of that fact sheet. The fact sheet is cited here only as the anchor the entry names, not for any statement about Wright County.[^3] ## Notes [^1]: Contegrity Group, *Wright County Justice Center* (project record, undated; cited and graded C in *Wright_County_History_DEEP_DIVE_2026-09-02.md*, note 29, and in at-issue entry AI-Humphrey-044) — approximately 150,562 sq ft, four levels, construction budget cited at $42.9 million; bonding mechanism not on the retrievable record (gap G-5). https://contegritygroup.com/wright-county-justice-center [^2]: Minnesota Revisor of Statutes, *Minn.
