Courthouse Update

The Trusses Are Here

After more than three and a half years, the courthouse reconstruction has reached a major milestone. The trusses for the new roof are here. Beginning this week, workers will begin the process of removing the temporary and installing the new permanent roof. The temporary roof will be removed in small sections and replaced with the new trusses sealed and made water tight before removing the next section of temporary roof. This process will take a while to complete.   

This phase of the construction is slated to be done by May. After this phase is done, work to rebuild the interior will begin.

Thus far, the insurance company has spent a total of $4,480,368.00. That includes all salvage, stabilization, construction, rentals for temporary facilities and so on.

My guess is a couple more years to finish.

I suspect if the insurance company knew then what they know now, they would never have decided to salvage the building. Had they declared it a total loss, we could already have had a new building done and moved in. Oh well.
