Marshall County Commissioner Kurt Garner is looking to form a committee to look into courthouse repairs.
He mentioned to the commissioners this week that work on the courthouse tower and other projects have been on the long range plan for the county. Garner was approached by a representative of Honeywell who would be willing to come in and do calculations on mechanical systems and energy cost savings. Judge Palmer also expressed interest in being on the committee.
Garner mentioned that he would talk to County Maintenance Supervisor Doug Masterson to evaluate the building and help present a plan for next year.
Commissioners Kevin Overmyer and Mike Delp encouraged Garner to move forward with the proposal.
The courthouse is nearing 150 years of age.
