Starke County Commissioners Hear Update on Second Floor Remodeling Project at Courthouse

The Starke County Commissioners heard an update on the second floor remodeling project of the courthouse during their meeting Monday.

In a previous Starke County Commissioner meeting, the commissioners approved Keener Construction’s bid of $169,250 for the areas on the second floor involved in the project. The commissioners also approved purchasing new office furniture during that same meeting. A bid of $12,039.37 from Kemp’s Office City was approved. The bid entailed new desks, conference tables, chairs, filing cabinets and other office furniture needed to bring the second floor of the courthouse up to date.

During Monday’s Commissioner meeting, Starke County Clerk Bernadette Manuel announced the courthouse renovations are not completely done but they are very close to being finished.
