Davison County commissioners learned Tuesday what the cost of upgrading the elevator in its historic courthouse will likely be.
The commission voted to move ahead with a $174,405 proposal from Schumacher Elevator Company, of Denver, Colo., to replace the elevator later this year. A formal contract with the firm has yet to be presented and will need to be approved before any construction takes place. The vote on Tuesday was 4-0, with Commissioner Kim Weitala absent.
The elevator, which serves five floors of the courthouse, has had numerous issues in recent months, including frequently stranding people in it, and a call to the Mitchell Fire Division to help get individuals out.
