The Delaware County Commissioners are the recipients of this year’s Best Public Building Rehabilitation Award for the renovation of the Delaware County Courthouse. The courthouse was originally completed in 1868 and has been listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
The rehabilitation launched in June of 2019 and was planned to be completed in summer of 2020, but due to the pandemic, the project wrapped up in early 2021. After being vacated in 2017, the Courthouse is finally occupied again by the Delaware County Veterans Service Commission, the County Commissioners, the Economic Development and Fiscal Services, and the Human Resources department. Along with workspaces the renovation has also allowed for a showcase of Delaware’s artifacts to highlight important historical moments.
