ELKINS The Randolph County Commission approved nearly $28,000 in spending Thursday for upgrades and repairs to the Randolph County Courthouse and the courthouse annex during Thursday’s regular meeting.

The new camera system will also give officials the ability to easily monitor what is going on in both facilities through use of an iPad.
