County faces hefty bill for elevator upgrades
Athens County will spend about 300000 dollars to upgrade three elevators in the Courthouse, Courthouse Annex, and former County Home. Otis Elevator says parts may be unavailable if a breakdown occurs, prompting plans to prioritize the Courthouse lift with a 100000 dollar 2016 budget allocation. The project will require 2 to 3 weeks of downtime, potentially affecting access for the common pleas, juvenile, and probate courts and prompting discussion of moving some operations or using second floor access. Local officials seek a coordinated timetable and possible summer window to minimize disruption.
