GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A discussion about bathrooms in the Hall County courthouse has prompted officials to say that the building in Grand Island is becoming too small for the county’s needs.
The county’s facilities director, Loren Humphrey, told the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that the board will have to address the problem sometime in the near future.
The courthouse’s restrooms were recently renovated to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Supervisor Gary Quandt says the renovation decreased the number of available toilets and urinals from 23 to 19 as part of a $3 million project that renovated heating, air conditioning and the restrooms. He said having fewer restrooms is a concern because the courthouse is busier than it was when it was built in 1904.
