Ribbon Cutting is Saturday for Courthouse upgrades

Head to the Adair County Courthouse this Saturday, July 15th, for a ribbon cutting and re-dedication of the Cornerstone. The Farmer’s Market takes place from 7 a.m. until noon, and courthouse tours are being offered from noon until 2:30 p.m. so you can see the upgraded areas and the renovation. The Ribbon Cutting is at 2:30 p.m. with cake and refreshments, and the re-dedication of the Cornerstone is at 4 p.m. The Courthouse renovations included a new energy-efficient HVAC system, a new roof, new premium ice and water shield, extensive plumbing upgrades, and modern resilient flooring and extensive repairs to the historic floors. In 2021, Adair County voters passed a quarter-cent sales tax to provide the funding for the upgrades.
