Repairs to the exterior of the Tippecanoe County Courthouse will get underway soon.
Commissioners have approved a roughly $670,000 contract to replace damaged limestone and repair the building’s chimneys.
Commission president Tom Murtaugh says a forensic study last year revealed a variety of work that needs to be done.
He says the original plan was to finish the project over the next four years, but the county has the money to repair the entire building this year.
It is being paid for with Economic Development Income Tax funds, money left over from the project to replace the courthouse windows, and an additional appropriation from the County Council.
