The tree was the focus of preservation efforts following the Courthouse renovation in 2019-20 but its condition continued to worsen, commissioners said in a statement.
“After exhausting all preservation options, we now recommend removal to ensure safety and the long-term health of the (courthouse) plaza landscape,” a Tree Care Inc. representative told commissioners.
Commissioners said ways to honor the tree’s legacy are being explored.
Safety measures will be in place during the removal Monday, commissioners said.
