Remodeling of Courthouse Annex will be done by a Decorah company

A Decorah construction firm is being hired to remodel the Winneshiek County Courthouse Annex.

Dave Hanson, the owner of Fixxit Hanson, LLC, submitted the low bid of $6,228 to make changes inside the Annex building.  The work will include removing countertops inside the building and creating a new bathroom area.  It will also include a priming coat and two finish coats of paint, as well as disposal of the material removed from the building.

A second quote, from A & J Construction, was $2,000 higher.  County supervisors approved Hanson's bid, with the understanding that he could do the work any time over the winter.
