(KNZA)---Improvements are coming to the Doniphan County Courthouse, at Troy, with Doniphan County Commissioners, last week, reviewing and accepting a bid for the forthcoming work.

According to the unofficial minutes for the June 24 meeting, the work will include the replacement of courthouse steps and handrails on both the north and south sides of the building, along with handrails on the north, west and south sides of the courtyard. A heating element will also be installed in the north and south steps leading into the courthouse building.

Three bids were received, prior to the meeting, with the Commission, following review, voting unanimously to accept what the minutes call “the best and lowest bid” of $100,900, as submitted by Highland, Kansas-based Diamond Fab, LLC.

The payment will be made through Doniphan County- New Sales Tax Fund.
