I would bet most of the money is for security and fortification. I don't really see it being overly stylish.

I admit the price is high for a courthouse, but $300 million isn't really a high price for a highrise.

Also I would imagine the county is "shooting high" in anticipation that voters will complain about that number, so they'll likely go with a lower number to appease the public to get the amount they really want and need.
