ANITOWOC — Something other than fireworks will light the skies above Manitowoc this weekend — the lights of the Manitowoc County Courthouse will shine for the first time since roof renovations on the building began a year ago.
Public Works Director Jeff Beyer said energy-efficient lights designed to accentuate the historic building's features have replaced high-wattage floodlights. On Friday, the county again will light the building from dusk until 3 a.m.
"It's a focal point of downtown (Manitowoc) and we want to enhance that," Beyer said. "It's pretty spectacular."
The county stopped lighting the courthouse in the 1950s, but Beyer said residents requested it start again in 1992.
Public Works has allocated money in its budget to light the courthouse, at a cost of $1 a day. Beyer said the energy-efficient lights will cost as muchas or less than the floodlights.
