What is the crane for beside the courthouse?

They're building a tower containing stairs, elevators, and extra restrooms up the back of the historic building to bring it into compliance with modern safety standards. For more than a decade now, the historic jail portion of the building has gone unused because it didn't meet updated safety standards. Thus, that old jail is now being converted to county office space. Also, a new addition to the courthouse will be built fronting College Street once the safety tower is finished.
