Courthouse woes are continuing

Decatur Daily Democrat:

The escalating cost to renovate the Adams County courthouse is showing no sign of coming to an end soon.

Dave Meyer of the county's building maintenance department met with the Adams County Council Tuesday to discuss yet another snag discovered by contractors as they continue with the final phase of the courthouse project.
 

Meyer said as the contractors are working on the bricks they need to remove to complete the tuck-pointing, brick faces above, below, and generally all around the work area have been popping out from the vibrations.
 

Meyer said part of the problem is that over the years the courthouse has been sandblasted to help keep the exterior looking clean.
