The Pulaski County Courthouse’s new elevator may be done ahead of schedule. That’s what Maintenance Supervisor Jeff Johnston told the county council Monday. “If you guys remember, it had a deadline of October, to be complete by the beginning of October,” he explained, “but we’re looking at the middle/end of August to the beginning of September, and we’ll be done. So really good progress there.” Johnston said all the block has been delivered to start building the new shaft.
The project will replace the old courthouse elevator with one that’s large enough to more easily fit people using wheelchairs. It’s part of Pulaski County’s response to a class action lawsuit alleging a lack of ADA compliance in its government buildings.
