Courthouse closer to renovation

“We’ve opened the bids but won’t accept any of them initially. I’ll take five to 10 days to review the numbers,” said county manager and courthouse project manager Bill Sawyer. “Secondly, we have to make sure we’re within budget. I’ll make a recommendation to the county commissioners. If the bids aren’t within budget, we’ll go back to the architect and see if we can make any changes or rebid the project.”
