Our first project is the preservation and restoration of the 1916 Adams County Courthouse located in Council, Idaho. The Commission's mandate is to restore the building to its original state and to determine the best use of the building. At this website you can find out what has been accomplished so far, as well as what is planned for the future. You'll also find a gallery of photos and a history of the Council Valley area, as well as how you can help achieve the preservation of this important local landmark. |

April 2008 Update: We are putting our IDAHO COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANT to work.
On May 14, we met Governor Otter in McCall for the presentation of an Idaho Community Block Grant for $257, 649. Shown above are, left to right, Governor Otter, Adams County Commissioner Bill Brown, Dale Fisk, Pete Johnston, Elaine Johnston, Jim Peart, Tim Toomy and grant administrator Shawn Charters.
We received 5 bids for the structural work on the old courthouse, and the contract was awarded, to Gafford Construction of Boise. Work is to begin on April 21 and is scheduled to be completed by 120 days from that date--around September 1.
The work will include: 1--Tying the floor/ceiling joists to the outside walls 2--Reinforcing the rafter/truss system and its connection to the outside walls 3--Repairing the Mission Style cupola on the front of the building
Numbers 1 & 2 are aimed at stopping the outward spreading of the walls that have been the major structural concern. This is a BIG step forward. |
