Seneca County (OH) Courthouse, in Danger of Razing


After many years of lies, stalling, giving us hope that our Seneca County (Ohio) Courthouse would be renovated&restored, 2 of our county commissioners, Ben Nutter&Jeff Wagner, have decided that they will tear down our beloved Courthouse, "BECAUSE IT IS TIME". It is NOT time....it will NEVER be time!! This building is on the National Register of Historic Places.....it was built to last, out of materials that are still as strong today as they were when it was built in 1884,&the only reason anyone can ascertain as to why they want to tear it down is so they can build their own MONUMENT TO MEDIOCRITY in the rubble of this grand old building....only weeks after promising that they would NOT build anything else in it's place. Our town is dying.....our county is dying.....we have so much to offer here, but nobody will ever see that, because our commissioners are more concerned about their own political futures than they are about what's actually good about or for Tiffin&Seneca County, Ohio. Our history is being trashed. The only good to possibly come out of this is that Ben Nutter&Jeff Wagner's political careers will, hopefully, come to an END due to their short-sightedness, lying,&inability to comprehend the FACTS: that a restored/renovated Courthouse is worth more than a pre-fab fantasy courthouse; that it will cost more in the long run to tear down, build, maintain,&eventually replace anything put in it's place, because new construction is inferior to old construction;&that they'll lose the space they've been whining about needing, because they plan to tear down the space they already have, to build something that will be approximately 10,000 sq ft SMALLER than what they already own.THE DEMOLITION CREWS ARE SCHEDULED TO START NEXT WEEK....MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011! THE TIME TO STAND UP, ACT UP,&BE HEARD IS ***NOW***!!!!!

I think everyone is tired of seeing the same few women getting the media attention. With the wrecking crew on the front lawn and the steps gone and you don't think it's over then something is wrong with you. Move forward because 99.9% of Seneca County has.

CalvertBlue: Keep your eyes on the news, kid. It's FAR from over....thanks to the idiocy of our wonderful commissioners,&the incompetency of the demolition contractors they gave the lowest bid to.

I'm sure glad this is all coming to an end. It's time to move on.  You can dwell and cry about the past or move on with a positive attitude towards the future. Hopefully everyone realizes what happens when you don't maintain a building for 20 years. Live, learn and move forward.
