In a called meeting Friday, the Marengo County Commission voted to extend the closure of the Courthouse and reopen it on Monday, April 27. That date may be extended because of the unknown circumstances surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.

In its original action, the Commission had voted to reopen the Courthouse on Monday, April 6.
