The Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center getting a new roof over the theatre atrium which was seeing a lot of water damage. Capital projects are always on the minds of commissioners.
"Whether or not it's your normal upkeep, beautification, or really helping the structure to maintain the structure, it's always a focus. A lot of the time that we spend around this table is about the capital needs and where those dollars are going to come from to take care of the large cost," explained Cory Noonan, Allen County Commissioner.
