Historic 1914 Courthouse Demolition

After years of debate, the county is finally tearing down the old 1914 Courthouse. Camacho Demolition won the bid at $1.31 million, funded through the downtown TIRZ, with about 130 days to complete once paperwork clears. Some artifacts will be preserved under a state antiquities permit, though the missing sundial remains unaccounted for.
