LAGRANGE â Telling the commissioners Monday morning that people keep forgetting that the LaGrange County Office Building is more than 37 years old, Gary Mast, the countyâs maintenance supervisor started outlining the upgrades he hopes to make in the structure.
âItâs time to start thinking about a facelift, inside and out,â he told the commissioners.
Mast made the comments during the commissionersâ regular meeting. He sought the commissionerâs approval to replace some carpeting in one of the buildingâs upstairs offices. That carpet represents the last piece of original carpeting still left on the buildingâs second-floor building. Mast got permission to have Quality Flooring, a Topeka vendor, replace and install new carpeting in that office for just over $4,000.

Terra now produces about 710 million cubic feet of gas a day from around 7,316 wells, Bryan Hotard of Terra told Garfield County commissioners Monday during operational updates the basinâs three leading gas producers provided to the commissioners.
Houston-based Terra formed in 2015 and obtained its core Piceance holdings the next year through a $910 million deal with WPX Energy.
