Elevator at Historic Courthouse to Be Complete by Oct. 31

The elevator in the historic Anderson County Courthouse, which has been out of order for more than a month, are scheduled to be complete by the end of October.

Repairs on the out-of-order, which have been delayed while custom parts are built for the repair, are expected to cost $57,000. The reparis include overhaul the hydraulics of the elevator, which was installed in the early 1980s.

The elevator is required for access to public meetings, which is why county council meetings are being moved mostly to the Anderson County Civic Center to comply with the law.
