Summer hours at the Shawano County Courthouse will come to an end Sept. 18.

Regular hours, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, will resume Sept. 21.

Summer hours would normally end with Labor Day. This year, Labor Day was also a payroll Monday for the county, making it difficult to have the transition start at that time.

The city of Shawano is continuing to talk with officials from the Shawano County Humane Society to see if there’s an option beyond shelling out almost $25,000 to help keep the humane society operational.

Nearly 800 pages of written specifications and 100 pages of architectural drawings make up the first bid pack for a proposed new courthouse and jail housing unit for Shawano County.

The documents can be viewed on the county website https://www.co.shawano.wi.us, and builders have until 2 p.m. Sept. 30 to provide sealed bids for the work.

Plans to build a new Shawano County Public Library on its current site could see a slight expansion if officials can negotiate the purchase of a few adjoining properties.

Kurt Berner, of The Samuels Group, said he recently spoke with people connected with the Frontier and the Bertram Wireless buildings south of the library, 128 S. Sawyer St., Shawano.
