Renovations continue at the Osage County Courthouse

 The Osage County Courthouse is getting an annex and there will also be renovations made to the existing courthouse in Pawhuska. At this week's county commission meeting, Board members needed to sign a contract so that those renovations could be made. District One Commissioner Everett Piper says the funding comes from left-over Covid money.

Piper stressed that the money is for renovations and NOT the annex because the two are different and distinct projects. The Board went on sign that contract with Ambler Architects in the amount of just over $130,000 plus a fee of $1,500 a month for services as construction takes place.
