The Marshall County Courthouse will once again house county employees this spring.
County Buildings and Grounds Director Lucas Baedke said a May date is set for completion of phase one of the courthouse restoration. It will include the east half of the first floor and all of the second floor.
As the scaffolding on the exterior comes down in late spring or early summer, Marshalltown residents might be tempted to gain access to the courthouse, but the fencing will remain. The public will have to be patient a bit longer as the rest of the building does not have a set completion date.
