Jail project on track for early fall occupancy, commissioners told

Chairman Brad Jones told the board on July 20 that an Owner/Architect/Contractor meeting at the new jail identified a 55‑item punch list and that county representatives were told the facility could be ready for occupancy by Sept. 1. Jones said he attended the meeting along with Sheriff Miles and Captain Justin Wells. The chairman also reported that multiple lightning strikes had affected county property, leaving the Public Safety complex operating on generators.
