Starke County Courthouse Elevator Project Still Awaiting State Inspection

The Starke County Courthouse elevator is installed, but it has to wait for the final state inspection.

Starke County Commissioner Kathy Norem said the contractor is working to clean up the construction.  The installation of tile and thresholds remains as finishing items.  The dumpster has since been removed and scaffolding will be removed.

The state inspector needs to certify the elevator before the public can use it.  The inspection is anticipated within the next week or so, although a firm timeline has not been provided.

Starke County was the recipient of a $500,000 K-IRPC grant to replace the elevator at the courthouse.  The previous space was not suitable for those with disabilities.
