The Putnam County Courthouse is getting a new elevator. The Putnam County Sentinel reports the commissioners recently voted to accept a roughly $178,000 bid from Davis & Newcomer Elevator Company. The bid was $50 more than the lowest bid, but included more equipment.

Davis & Newcomer’s bid included the cost of a new cab enclosure. Toledo Elevator’s bid charged more than $12,000 for that part of the remodel.

The county plans to have the new elevator installed by the end of next May at the latest.
