Courthouse Construction

(LE MARS)–Weather will determine when the Plymouth County Courthouse Annex building construction is complete.

The general contractor for the 637-thousand dollar office, storm shelter and storage building is H-C-I of South Sioux City. H-C-I construction manager Tom Koob has broken the project down to about 160 days, but he says it could spread out to 250 days, depending on winter weather.

To facilitate construction, the Recycling Dumpster was relocated to the north side of the Emergency Management location at 127 Third Street Northeast.

 

 

Courthouse parking will be most available on the north and west side of the building now because a contractor is replacing windows in the Courthouse. The southeast door to the lower level has been opened as an entrance so those entering from the south and east won’t need to walk through the window work underway on the east side of the historic building.
