According to county maintenance staff, the entire clock had to be repaired. By Friday night, the north, east and west side of the clock will be keeping time again. The clock also strikes every hour of every day now. Staff anticipate the clock will be complete again by the end of next week, just in time for the courthouse lighting ceremony.
