Commissioners delay courthouse construction until after July festival
Summary
Officials delayed courthouse interior and exterior work because of slow contract approvals and contractor scheduling; handrails and other ordered items will not be made until the contract is signed, with handrail fabrication estimated around July 1.
County officials voted to postpone courthouse construction until after the local July Circus Festival, citing slow legal approvals and contractor concerns about ordering materials before the contract was finalized. Commissioner Mark Horner moved to delay construction until after the festival; the motion passed 3-0.
Meeting minutes and staff reports indicate the contractor preferred to wait before ordering handrails and other materials until a signed contract was in place; as a result, handrail production was not expected to begin until approximately July 1. Commissioner Keith Musselman said the timing would avoid interfering with the festival schedule and allow contractor work to proceed without conflict.
