Daviess County Council Approve Annex Funding

Last updated on Friday, February 16, 2018

(LOOGOOTEE) - The Daviess County Council on Wednesday approved the funding for the new Daviess County Courthouse Annex.

They voted to use $4 million from the General Fund and a half-million each from the Riverboat and Economic Development Tax Funds for the down payment.

Earlier this week the commissioners chose the low bidder to build the building at around $5.6 million along with an alternate bid to stone on the outside façade.

The county will pay $5 million and $3 million will be bonded over 15 years.

Groundbreaking is slated for next month.
