Courthouse Project

The Courthouse Project has raised $1.65 of the $1.75 million needed! Well, almost ... $498,000 of the $1.65 is as a Historic Preservation Grant request that is currently at the legislature. We ranked #4 of 48 projects, so we're feeling confident, but it's not final yet.  The process is moving forward with contracting with an architect and getting contractor bids. We should have an updated cost estimate in mid-April.  Asbestos and lead-based paint results came back as very small amounts that can be addressed during construction, so the tentative plan is to begin construction this fall and finish up around March 2024.

This project is to remodel the mostly vacant second floor into 5 offices and 4 apartments. All 5 offices are spoken for and one apartment is officially reserved - and the project hasn't even broken ground!
