Arthur Cusano is reporting in the Register Star the Columbia County Courthouse will reopen in November. The building has been closed for 18 months for major renovation work, which was complicated by construction delays. It was originally slated to open in March. Columbia County Board of Supervisors Chairman Patrick Grattan announced news of the expected reopening at the monthly meeting of the full board, Wed., Oct. 8. The courts are expected to return to the courthouse the week of Nov. 27. The renovation project included construction of a 16,000-square-foot addition, and electrical, HVAC and plumbing renovations. The building was also brought into compliance with the requirements of Americans with Disabilities Act. There was significant asbestos abatement done on the building, as well. Grattan said the final cost of the project is expected to be just under $10 million. Read the full story in the Register Star.
