New Courthouse HVAC May Be Done In Phases

A new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system at the Wabash County Courthouse may be done in phases. At Monday’s county board meeting, chairman Tim Hocking said the price tag to replace the HVAC in the entire courthouse came in at $900,000, a price the county can’t afford in one chunk. So now, Hocking said they’re looking at replacing units that serve the first floor first and then do the rest of the courthouse when funding allows. The reasoning for starting with the first floor is that’s where the most courthouse employees are located, according to Hocking.
