Restoration efforts on the Putnam County Courthouse are ahead of schedule. Putnam County commissioners say work is going well on the 106-year-old building. The bulk of the work right now is washing the outside of the building and filling in the joints where it's needed. Once that's complete, crews will spray and seal the limestone to keep it together for years to come.

The Putnam County Commissioners are taking the next steps toward the county's courthouse renovations. Tuesday, the commissioners and the the designers of the project, Technicon Design Group, met with contractors to answer any questions they might have. Bidding is under way for the project that looks to restore parts of the courthouse. Included in the plan is to restore the exterior stone walls, replace the roof, replace the east entrance entryway and move the ramp from the north side of the building to the east side. The commissioners are looking for bids that will be cost effective and not rushed.
