COVID-19 delays repairs to sheriff’s office
HILLSDALE Needed repairs to the Hillsdale County Sheriff’s Office building have been delayed by COVID-19 shutdowns.
The Hillsdale County Board of Commissioners is awaiting a few different bid options from Foulke Construction with varying options to replace or repair a brick facade that has been damaged by freezing water over time since the office opened in the 1960s.
Options right now include repairing the existing brick facade or replacing it entirely with something else, Lt. Jason Stiverson said Monday morning.
Although the brick facade has yet to suffer major damages, freezing and thawing of water behind the facade have led to a deterioration of the mortar that holds the bricks together meaning the southern facade could begin to collapse at any time.
