SEMINOLE — In a special called meeting of the Gaines County Commissioners Court Monday morning, which lasted just under 15 minutes, the commissioners court approved a proposal to modernize the courthouse elevator. Gaines County Judge Tom Keyes told the court the elevator has been out of order since last week.

Keyes received an estimate from Thyssen Krupp for $91,710.20. The Capital Project Fund will be used to make the repairs. — From the Seminole Sentinel ...
