In an effort to keep our readers up-to-date on the latest concerning the possible demolition (or hopeful renovation) of the Seneca County Courthouse in Tiffin, we are now posting the latest Courthouse news to the right.  The five most recent news stories will be posted daily.

On that subject, the Toledo Blade is reporting that this morning County Commissioners entered into an agreement with the Courthouse development group, whereby the group will now have a full opportunity to prepare renovation plans.  This plan was contingent on the deposit of an agreed-upon sum to be placed in escrow pending the ultimate demolition/renovation decision.

Preliminary discussion has centered on two options -- one for the county continuing to use the building as a courthouse, and another for private use, with a new courthouse being constructed on a different site.  Key in these scenarios would be the involvement of the local port authority.  Once a plan or plans are developed, MyHometownOhio will post details of the same on this site.
