Commissioners allocate $30,000 in ARPA funds to repair courthouse elevator
Summary
The Sagadahoc County Commissioners voted 3-0 to use $30,000 from ARPA funds to repair the courthouse elevator after discussion of safety concerns and interim workarounds; the board emphasized the repair as a priority.
Commissioner Grose moved and the board voted unanimously on Aug. 13 to expend $30,000 from ARPA funds to repair the Sagadahoc County courthouse elevator.
Commissioner Grose said the elevator’s failure is a safety issue; Administrator Jones described workarounds county staff had used while the elevator has been down for approximately six weeks. Commissioners discussed prioritizing critical capital needs and agreed repair was necessary.
The motion to use ARPA funds carried 3-0 (Grose moved; Crosby seconded). The board did not identify additional capital funding for related courthouse reorganization at this meeting, but Commissioners asked the Space Committee to continue multi-year planning for courthouse space and a potential future public safety building.
