Courthouse price tag could top $5 million
TAZEWELL Va The minimum cost for proposed renovations to the Tazewell County Courthouse could top $5 million, officials said Tuesday. A representative for Hansen Lind and Meyers said the minimum repairs would be about 5.7 million, with many options including possibly building a new facility off site as a last resort. The study, assisted by Thompson and Litton, is aimed at preserving the historic building which currently fails ADA guidelines. Mayor Jerry Wood joined the courthouse committee to monitor actions and prevent downtown removal. Supervisors did not act on hiring a program consultant to oversee contractor and engineer work.
