Not only is the Moultrie County courthouse receiving some repairs and restoration, but the square around it will be getting repaved, as discussed by the Sullivan city council at their last meeting.

According to commissioner Ken Johnson, the courthouse square was paved 30 years ago with asphalt. The current estimate to repave the square is $350,000 which doesn’t include the surface prep work. After the square has been repaved, it can last between seven to 10 years. With the cost and work of the job, it will need to be broken down into three years. “We would like to put down as much asphalt as possible and see how much we can get done,” said Johnson.

“We should do the square first and then see what will be left,” he added.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
