Traill County exploring a change to court house visiting restrictions 

In their most recent meeting the Traill County Board of Commissioners opened discussions about reopening the Traill County Court House to visitors. Back in 2020 the board closed down the courthouse to visitors in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and decided to continue these restrictions in February of 2022 as a safety precaution. 

Since these restrictions have been in place visitors haven’t been able to access the building without being buzzed in and escorted throughout the building. Board members have stated that residents have been asking for these restrictions to be eased. Officials have also said that the current restrictions wouldn’t prevent an armed intruder. 

While no decision was made the board will continue to explore options.
