Turner Valleys courthouse is nearing completion and provincial officials say it will be this spring when the building opens its doors to the public, nearly a year after it was first expected to be ready.

The courthouse was supposed to open in the spring of 2013, however, provincial finances and poor weather has pushed the opening to sometime this spring.

Alberta Infrastructure spokesperson Roxanne Nanuan said the project was delayed twice last year, first when the Province announced it would be reviewing all courthouses following their spring budget and again in June when flooding wreaked havoc in the foothills, delaying construction at the site.

The project is on budget, Nanuan said, although the province has not yet given a figure on the total budget for the project.

The building was formerly a courthouse, but was shut down in 1996, when the town bought it to use as their town hall. The Province then bought the building back and an adjacent lot from the town in 2012 for $850,000 to turn reopen a courthouse in the town.

The interior construction work included creating a secured entrance, new bathrooms, bringing the 35-year-old buildings electrical work up to code, installing audio and visual technology, renovating the courthouse area and holding cells and office areas with new paint and carpet. Outside the parking lot was expanded and the roof was replaced, at a cost of $67,821.

Nanuan said construction was completed late this month and now they are working on furnishing the building, installing security cameras and setting up computers.

The moving in process has started, Nanuan said.

Next the site will be turned over to Justice officials, who will need to move in their belongings, she said.

Alberta Justice spokesperson Dan Laville said a move-in date for justice staff, like judges, clerks and crown prosecutors has not been set yet.

Turner Valley court in sesssion this spring

SEBRING - There could be a new sheriff's office, and it would be across Palmetto Avenue from the current facility.

At least that was the 3-2 consensus at Tuesday morning's workshop. It was a non-binding vote at the workshop.

The Highlands County commissioners and previous boards have decided before to relocate the sheriff's office to George Boulevard, and the property and evidence division at the Kenilworth Business Center. Just last month, Commissioner Ron Handley told the other four commissioners it occurred to him that the county also should move 75 deputies and office staff from sheriff's Liberty Star Plaza to the metal building at 4500 Kenilworth Blvd.

The Palmetto Avenue proposal was recommended by Sheriff Susan Benton. It would cost about $8.8 million to build, County Engineer Ramon Gavarrete estimated.

The county already owns a parking lot fronting Eucalyptus Street. Benton called a real estate agent about the two available lots and was told they were listed at $49,500 each.

"You'd better write 'em a check, sheriff," Handley advised; when property owners know the county wants it, the price will go up.

That would give the county enough room for 41,740 square feet, which will include Property and Evidence, currently located in the jail, Crime Scene Investigations, and the 75 deputies and staff who are currently renting Liberty Star Plaza.

Construction costs would be about $180 per square feet, Gavarrete estimated. Renovating an older building like Bank of America would cost about $125 per square foot, he said.

Commissioners generally rejected buying Sebring City Hall because the county would have to tear down the current buildings, relocate city government and refurbish the Bank of America building. That option bore the highest estimate: $9.7 million.

George Boulevard and Restoration Center would be too far from downtown; Liberty Star and Kenilworth are too small.

$615,000 of in-kind labor and materials donated to build and renovate area homeless shelters

The past year was a record-setting one for the Portland area Home Builders Foundation as it completed seven construction projects in 2013 to help provide shelter and transitional housing for the homeless.

The seven projects were valued at $1.76 million, with approximately $615,000 of this value donated in the form of in-kind or heavily discounted labor and materials from members of the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland and others in the local home building industry.

We set out to double the number of projects we completed the previous year, says Ken Cowdery, Home Builders Foundation executive director. Im pleased to say that we went well beyond that goal.

Projects included:

A major renovation of the Goose Hollow Family Shelter operated by Portland Homeless Family Solutions.

The creation of a transitional housing facility in Beaverton for homeless youth a facility that was developed in partnership with the city of Beaverton and is operated by Boys and Girls Aid.

A major expansion of The Harbor, an addiction recovery center for homeless men operated by the Portland Rescue Mission.

Additional projects included shelter kitchen remodels, interior and exterior painting and projects designed to enhance the appearance and comfort of shelters.

Since 2005, the foundation has built and renovated more than 40,000 square feet of shelter space valued at nearly $4 million. These projects accommodate more than 500 homeless men, women, youth, families with children and domestic violence survivors each year.

With houses remaining unsold for months-- even years, in some cases -- it's clearly not a good time to sell your home.

But if you're planning to sell soon despite the market conditions, how can you help your home stand out from the crowd?

Upgrades and renovations can make all the difference to a potential buyer who has many homes to choose from, experts say. With the recession keeping many people from spending on home improvements, now might be the perfect time to find a great deal.

"A lot of the big remodeling jobs have gone away because people are not sure about the economy, so they're just waiting," says David Lupberger, home improvement expert at ServiceMagic.com, a company that connects homeowners with home service professionals. As a result, "a lot of good contractors are available."

Top 5 midrange renovations by return on investment

Contractors are ready and willing to do the job, and many can be hired at a discount right now, Lupberger says. "It's a matter of supply and demand. These guys have been used to doing one or two $300,000 projects. Those projects aren't around, so now they're doing the $25,000 projects, the $50,000 projects, and pricing them very competitively."

While deals will probably be best in areas of the country hit hard by the real estate downturn and a worsening economy, it doesn't hurt to get quotes from several contractors no matter where you live, Lupberger says. Also, be open to different types of offers. For example, one contractor could charge $5,000 less for one particular job, while another might tack on an extra project for free if you spend a certain amount of money with his company.

"Many buyers judge a house by its exterior," says Walter Molony, a spokesman for the National Association of Realtors. So it's little surprise that among the home improvement projects most appreciated by buyers are midrange wood deck additions and siding replacements, according to Remodeling magazine's 2008-2009 Cost vs. Value Report, which looks at the return of investment for various remodeling projects. Owners who put decks on their homes recouped 81.8 percent of their money, and siding replacement projects gave homeowners 80.7 percent of a return on investment.

Getting buyers to buy

A series of spring and summer construction projects totaling more than $8.5 million were approved Monday by Fort Wayne Community Schools board members.

The projects include roofing replacements at eight schools Northrop High School, Miami, Northwood and Shawnee middle schools, and Croninger, Scott, Shambaugh and Whitney Young elementary schools.

The roofing projects will be completed by Fort Wayne Roofing and Sheet Metal.

The district will also relocate a welding lab at Anthis Career Center to give students more space to complete projects by moving the existing lab in the basement of the building into an open service bay in the auto trades building. The project will be completed by Project Design & Piping Inc.

Window replacement and masonry restoration projects will be completed at Northwood and Towles Elementary School. The work at Northwood will be completed by Fetters Construction Inc. and work at Towles will be completed by Shawnee Construction.

The board also approved construction contracts at Croninger Elementary School to make architectural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical renovations. The projects will be completed by Hamilton Hunter Builders Inc. and Automated Logic.

Asbestos abatement services will also be completed at Croninger and Harris Elementary as part of the 2014-15 projects. The projects will be paid for through the districts School Building Basic Renewal/Restoration and Safety Project budget which was included in the 2012 bond approved by voters in a referendum.

FWCS approves construction projects

Capitol Theatre assistant manager Eva McKimm, board member Heather Haake, and executive director Stephanie Fisher are excited about the recent upgrades at the theatre, which include new flooring in the lobby and an exterior paint job.

For the first time since its revitalization 25 years ago, Nelson's Capitol Theatre is getting some significant upgrades.

About 30,000 people pass through the 426-seat performance space each year to take in a rich program of live theatre, dance, comedy and concerts.

"With that much traffic, you expect some wear and tear on the building," explained executive director Stephanie Fischer.

When the City of Nelson decided spend around $100,000 to replace the theatre's HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system in 2012 which it's been doing in many city-owned building to reduce corporate green house gas emissions Fischer couldn't help but think what else the theatre could have done with that kind of budget.

So, she began reaching out to other funding bodies, to see if they would match the city's investment. A year later, the notices of funding approval are still rolling in.

Fischer didn't want to disclose the total dollar figure that the theatre received from funders, but suffice to say it surpassed the goal of matching what the city spent.

This past fall, the Capitol got a new exterior paint job and the outdoor poster box was replaced. During the Christmas holidays, flooring in the front lobby was replaced and new bathroom sinks were installed.

Within the year, the theatre also will replace its dance floor, stage curtains, lighting and technical equipment. Improvements will be made to the orchestra pit and the rear loading bay. And the front entrance door will be made more wheelchair accessible.
