Courthouse project behind schedule

Posted Jan 25, 2022 10:01 AM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Work continues on a major renovation project to the Reno County Courthouse. The $3.4 million project includes more than $1.1 million in earthquake repairs and another $2.3 million in renovations.

Those renovations include new windows and an overall upkeep of the exterior of the stone building.

Delays have put the project behind schedule. The estimated completion date was originally projected to be 365 days. Maintenance Director Harlan Depew says much of the work has been completed, but substantial completion has been delayed for various reasons. Representatives with the contractor will be before the county commission on Tuesday to present a current review of what has been completed to date, an explanation of work yet to be completed, and the most recent projected completion date.

The presentation is part of Tuesday’s county commission meeting.
