HUNTINGDON (December 28) — New bulletproof glass and door will be installed at the Carroll County Circuit Court office following budgetary approval by the county’s Budget Committee.
Sarah Bradberry, Circuit Court Clerk, requested a local match of $3,200 for the $32,000 security enhancement project, which includes a camera to monitor the hallway, and bulletproof glass and door for inside the office to protect the personnel. A state grant of $28,800 was awarded to the county for the project. Bradberry said she requested the grant funding within days of taking office in September.
The county will pay the entire $32,000 and be reimbursed $28,800 upon completion.
County Mayor Joseph Butler said the county received a state grant of $35,000 to fund the entire cost of the a person to oversee the Prevention Coalition. The purpose of the program is to help those people in need and to prevent residents from using addictive substances. If the funding ceases, the program does as well, said Butler. The Committee approved establishing the program. The director will be housed at the Carroll County Technical School to eliminate any cost of office space.
