Bids in for facade of Danville courthouse annex

DANVILLE – As a $248,000 roof project starts this week on the Vermilion County Courthouse Annex, county officials are gathering bids and expert information on the next major repair on the building, the facade.

Although Vermilion County Board Chairman Jim McMahon did not want to release the actual bids for the facade project yet, he said proposals from two bidders came in below what was projected by the engineering firm that did the design work.
