Courthouse's secure elevator funding is pulled from the agenda for a second month
Who it touches: Vigo County Courthouse
Additional Appropriation 2026-37 (spending beyond the adopted budget) — roughly $500,000 to replace the courthouse's only secure elevator for moving inmates between the jail and courtroom — was removed from the council's agenda again tonight, with commissioners saying they're still waiting on another repair estimate.
This is the second month in a row the request has been pulled; the commissioners asked for the same delay in early August to get a second contractor's bid.
