NEW PHILADELPHIA Members of the Tuscarawas County Board of Elections met with commissioners on Monday to express their concerns about new security arrangements at the courthouse and the county office building.
Currently, visitors to the courthouse enter through a secured entrance off of Ashwood Lane. However, members of the public are able to access the county office building through multiple unsecured entrances.
Under a new plan, which goes into effect on March 1, the Ashwood Lane entrance will be closed. All visitors to the courthouse and the county office building will enter both buildings through one secured entrance in the county office building.
