Lawrence County has been working on replacing the courthouse roof for at least four years.

County Judge John Thomison says the work has been done in three phases, all with the help of grants from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program.

The courthouse was built back in the 1960′s and Judge Thomison says the restoration will fix a lot of issues they’ve run into in recent years.

The grant for the final phase of the restoration was over $200,000 and officials hope to have the restorations completed in the next few months.
