County Facility Renovations

The county is considering hiring a construction manager at-risk to remodel the building it bought from Windley Broadcasting on Fisk, plus space in the courthouse, to consolidate departments like elections. Shellback Construction was the first finalist interviewed; no contract commitment yet. Expect roughly seven months of construction on the ~15,000 sq ft space if the project moves forward.
