County seeks council funds for courthouse elevator upgrades after repeated failures
After repeated elevator failures and obsolete control modules, commissioners voted to ask the council for funding to pursue a comprehensive 'hydrofit mod' estimated at about $130,000 per elevator rather than a temporary $31,000 fix.
