During a time when landing a loan seems close to impossible, Madison County has secured a $5 million line of credit toward its courthouse renovation project. Officials recently approved a resolution to go forward with borrowing the money through a commercial paper loan program offered by the Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia Municipal League finance program.

Earlier this summer, workers began carefully dismantling sections of the Madison County Courthouse in preparation for its long-anticipated renovation.
As the second phase of the project gets under way, officials are figuring out the details of a $5 million loan to pay for part of the county’s $6.97 million contract with Warren Flynn Construction Company Inc. of Fredericksburg, the contractor of the project, which aims to improve safety and security within the 1830s-era structure.
