NEW PHILADELPHIA Beginning March 1, there will be a single secure entrance for all visitors to the Tuscarawas County Courthouse and the county office building.
The new plan will require visitors and clients conducting business at either building to enter and exit through the courtyard entrance to the county office building.
There will be a security station with screening at the courtyard entrance, like the current screening at the Ashwood Lane entrance to the courthouse. The Ashwood Lane door will no longer be an entry point. This is all being done in the interest of public safety, said Commissioner Al Landis.
