Pulaski County Commissioners Move Forward with Courthouse Elevator Design

The Pulaski County Courthouse elevator is another step closer to getting replaced. The county commissioners approved an addendum Monday to move forward with the design for a new elevator.

The existing one is considered too small to properly fit people using wheelchairs. It’s also obsolete and has a bad motor, according to County Maintenance Supervisor Jeff Johnston. That means it will have to be entirely rebuilt.

It’s part of a larger effort to make the courthouse more compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Larger-scale courthouse renovations have also been discussed.
