The bill for removing asbestos from the Madison County government office building is getting bigger.
The cost for the work had been estimated at $2 million. But county administrator Dan Dykes says that projection is now $3.5 million.
The (Anderson) Herald Bulletin reports that estimate includes the asbestos removal, new fireproofing, moving and storage for county offices, new ceiling tiles, paint and carpeting. That total doesn’t include the $420,000 cost to lease space to house county offices for seven months so the work can be completed. County council members are expected to vote Nov. 14 on a plan to borrow the $3.5 million and repay it with county income tax revenues.
