Changes at courthouse: Entrance gets face lift

HAMILTON — The Marion County Courthouse entrance has had quite the upgrade following some major construction in the past few weeks.
Marion County Emergency Management Agency Director Eric Terrell stated the courthouse has enclosed some of its front area in glass while also adding another handicap accessible ramp on the right side of the entrance.
“The whole front porch will be (enclosed) with glass and automatic doors. That will allow us to move all security checkpoints into that area, and the glass doors will be ADA compliant,” said Terrell.
“Anybody can get in and out of those doors without needing assistance, and we won’t have to touch anything.”
