What's up with all the scaffolding at the York County Admin Center? Here's what to know.
Did you notice the scaffolding outside the York County Administrative Center downtown? It's part of a multi-phased building renovation and preservation initiative to restore the 127-year-old building.
Following the move of the courthouse to the current York County Judicial Center in 2004, the county chose to preserve and renovate the historic courthouse building, transforming it into the York County Administrative Center since 2006, according to a media relations spokesperson for York County.
The first phases of the renovation were completed in 2024 at a total cost of $338,500. The current phases of the project include extensive repairs and renovations to the building's north-side exterior, including repairs to the existing masonry by fixing and replacing any damaged stones, repairing and upgrading windows, as well general repairs and exterior cleaning, which is expected to be completed by late summer or early fall this year.
These improvements are needed to ensure this historic building is well-maintained and preserved for future generations.
According to a spokesperson, the total cost of the current project is $1.185 million, funded through a capital improvement fund, rather than the county's General Fund operating budget.
