In Fannin County, local officials are considering taking legal action against some of the contractors who worked on the historic courthouse’s recent renovation. The four-year effort cost more than $27 million and was completed about two years ago. Since then, electrical problems have plagued the building, along with flooding and other issues.
North Texas E-News reports the FBI is conducting a forensic investigation of the process by which certain contractors were hired. Concerns include how the project ended up $10 million over budget. In particular, the masonry work of Fort Worth-based Bryco-Bryant is under rveiew. Last Friday, a district judge granted Fannin County officials a court order to depose representatives from New York-based Turner Construction and Dallas-based ArchiTexas, as the county continues its own investigation.
