Contractor to shift to evening swing shift for admin building millwork; county agrees to one-week schedule bump

Oct 29, 2025

The Millig contractor for the admin building millwork requested a one‑week schedule move and a switch to a 5 p.m.–1 a.m. Monday–Thursday swing shift to avoid daytime courtroom noise conflicts. County staff and commissioners agreed to the schedule change and to monitor nightly cleanup for 8 a.m. openings.

The full story

Millig, the contractor working on admin‑building millwork, told Cowlitz County commissioners it must delay Zone 2D (clerk’s office) work by one week — from the week of Nov. 10 to the week of Nov. 17 — because high‑profile jury activity reduced available daytime work windows. The contractor proposed and staff accepted moving to a swing shift that starts mobilization at 5 p.m. and runs roughly to 1 a.m., Monday through Thursday, to avoid daytime noise impacts on court operations.
