Morganton- The Burke County Courthouse will receive improvements to security after a vehicle drove into the courthouse in November.

Improvements include putting a guard rail with steel posts and a brick facade, repairing the damaged wall, having only one entrance into the courthouse, and installing 20 new security cameras. The improvements will cost $135,000, according to The Morganton News Herald. Crews hope to finish the work by the spring 2010.
