Old Courthouse Dome Cost Higher Than Expected

From the June 5, 2014, Northwest herald by Shawn Shinneman.

Costs are already $80,000 more than expected at the Old Courthouse in Woodstock, Illinois.  On Tuesday, the city council approved another $32,608 toward the original contract of $775,000.  The city had previously already upped its cost $50,000.

Complications have been found because the contractor wasn't able to get a closer look at the cupola before the scaffolding was installed.

Crews were finishing their installation of the copper covering this week..  After the scaffolding is removed, they will begin work on the roof itself.

Expected date of completion has been moved from June 30th to September 30th.
