Project Overview
Shelby County Courthouse Legacy Project
Shelby County Commissioners selected Energy Systems Group (ESG), a leading energy services provider, to develop and implement a $4.8 million Legacy Energy Savings Project made possible by Ohio House Bill 295. The project includes comprehensive infrastructure improvements to the historical Shelby County Courthouse.
The courthouse, located in downtown Sidney, Ohio, is a 135-year old 4-story block facility of approximately 39,300 square feet.
