Demolition work for Benton County, Arkansas s courthouse expansion is chugging along despite recent bad weather, county officials said Dec. 19.
DT Specialized Services of Tulsa, Okla., started the demo Dec. 7. According to county Judge Barry Moehring, the contract is for $72,772.
The one-story section behind the courthouse in Bentonville is being taken down to make room for a two-story addition planned for the site.
Following that, the concrete foundation will be torn out. Moehring and Bryan Beeson, facilities administrator of Benton County, said the project is on schedule despite losing work time recently due to snow.
