GREENVILLE — The Darke County Board of Commissioners met Wednesday afternoon to declare an emergency on repairs for the west outside wall of the Darke County courthouse. Commissioners Matt Aultman, Mike Stegall, and Larry Holmes were all present.
Resolution (R-71-2021) was approved and declared an emergency. This resolution pertains to the limestone wall on the west outside wall of the courthouse, which is beginning to wear away.
