NEW JUDICIAL BUILDING

  • We have been experiencing plumbing issues with the original drain line under the first floor. Momon Construction has presented a plan to address the issue at a cost of $15,850. Jeff Champion states that, since changing out some plumbing fixtures, there have not been any issues. We will pause on this project for now and see if we need to move forward or not.
