Commissioners approve $19,800 for final courthouse sidewalk repairs

The Board of Carroll County Commissioners on Sept. 3 approved completing the final two sidewalks around the courthouse at an estimated cost of $19,800. Commissioner Leggett said the vendor who performed earlier sidewalk work is ready to finish the remaining sections and noted the repairs will address trip hazards.

Leggett framed the work as preventive maintenance to avoid greater expense later and asked the board to authorize starting the work before winter. Commissioners moved and carried the motion; no opposing votes were recorded in the meeting minutes.
