Crews will begin replacing the sidewalk at the Washington County Courthouse next week. On August 3rd, DeLong Construction, Inc., staff will begin the work on the west side of the courthouse. The work is being done to improve accessibility to the west entrance and is expected to take about one month. Tile will also be installed to improve drainage from around the foundation.

The west entrance of the courthouse will remain open for public use, with the exception of three days. The public is asked to take caution in the construction zone. If handicap access is needed, the public is asked to contact the auditor’s office in advance so they may assist those accessing the west entrance, where the elevator is located. The auditor’s office can be contacted at 653-7715.
