With Cost Issues Looming, What Will The New Montezuma County Courthouse Look Like?

Montezuma County

After years of pressure from the State, the Montezuma County Commissioners decided late last year to build a new court house and cobbled together about $7.5 million in construction money through grants and reserves.  Now, both prospective builders have told the County that the project, as designed, can't be done for less than $10 million--more than $2 million over the original budget. 

Jeff Pope and Gail Binkley sat down with the Four Corners Free Press' David Grant Long who has been covering the story.

Gail Binkly is a career journalist who has worked for the Colorado Springs Gazette and Cortez Journal, and was the editor of the Four Corners Free Press, based in Cortez.
