Those visiting the Butler County Government Center behind the courthouse will notice an upgrade to the large lobby in the near future at a cost of nearly $200,000.

The county commissioners at their Wednesday meeting ratified three contracts that will modernize the lobby and allow for better use of the space using a grant received through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

- Clark Contractors Inc. will replace the revolving entrance door at a cost of $72,383. The work is to be completed by Nov. 1.

- Schultheis Electric will provide electrical services to rewire the new security desk, which will be relocated in the lobby. The cost for that service is $75,622.

- Schultheis also will install touchless faucets and soap dispensers in the building at a cost of $48,797.
