Professionals to Donate Labor to Courthouse Restoration Project

We have a licensed electrician who has agreed to donate $1500 labor to the project! Frank came in today to provide his opinion as to what would bring the courthouse up to code electrically. He said much of the wiring is already up to code and can be utilized to prevent extra spending. He was given a tour of the current museum and loved our project. Frank is from Joplin but says he has historic ties to the county and is curious to prove his family lore that one of his direct ancestors was a judge here. Thanks to the slow economy business is slow and Frank can begin as soon as the paneling is stripped and some of the dust is cleared.
