Ind. Courts - Restoration of the Orange County Courthouse in Paoli in the works
WFLQ's Q-100 News reports this afternoon:
The Orange County Commissioners Expect to Apply For a $500,000 Community Focus Fund Grant to pay for restoration of the Orange County Courthouse in Paoli. A Study conducted by the architectural firm of Kovert Hawkins showed more extensive work is needed than had originally been anticipated. The last major renovation work on the Orange County Court House was performed back in 1993. The study found problems with moisture coming in through the walls, floors and ceiling, mold growth, the exterior painted surfaces are deteriorated, along with window problems. The report also noted that the carpeting was worn, interior plaster walls were cracked and new door hardware was needed. The renovation will also include the installation of an elevator to make the Courthouse accessible to the Handicapped as required by the Americans with diabilities Act. The total cost will be approximately 1.2 Million dollars, with the remainder of the cost to be raised at the local level.
