The public will be using a different door to get to the Bourbon County Commission, Treasurer and Clerk offices at 210 S. National.
The Bourbon County Courthouse personnel moved the offices late last week from the second floor to the north wing, the space of the former Sheriff’s Office and jail.
The Sheriff’s office and jail moved to a new facility at 293 E. 20th Street, earlier this year
The commission room is on the north side of the courthouse door as one enters in the north wing, There is room for the public to attend meetings comfortably now and space is more handicapped accessible on the ground floor.
To enter the county public works office, use the north door on the 2nd Street side.
The county attorney will move from the office building at 108 2nd Street to the 2nd floor of the courthouse on October 9.
The last day the driver’s license will be in its current location on the second floor of the courthouse, is Oct. 26, according to Shane Walker, Bourbon County Information Services Director.
On November 1, the driver’s license office will be open for business at 108 2nd Street, Walker said.
“We’ve leased them two cells in the former jail in exchange for internet and phone services for life,” Walker said. “That will save the county $250,000 over the next 10-12 years. We currently have internet from them and will be switching to their phone service in the next month.”
“The other cells of the former jail are empty,” Walker said, “There are some future plans ahead for them.”
Great move! This is so much easier for disabled customers.
