The story
In November 2025, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners said the courthouse roof was leaking significantly near the rounded section with the clock, and that contractors were evaluating the leak and obtaining repair estimates.

After taking up courthouse repairs on its July 6, 2026 agenda, the board voted 3-0 to award the project to United Contract & LLC for replacement of the TPO roof system around the courthouse clock tower, with a total amount of $48,398.27.
