Long County officials say proposed jail is in early architectural stage; will house 103 inmates in planning documents
Summary
Commissioners were told the proposed Long County jail is in an early architectural stage and will be submitted to the state for financing; the sheriff said planning documents show capacity for 103 inmates and 18–24 employees.
Commissioners received an update on a proposed Long County jail during the April 5 meeting. Chairman Robert Parker told the board the project is in an early architectural stage and that plans will be sent to the state to pursue financing once that design work is complete.
Sheriff Nobles provided the capacity and staffing figures included in the minutes, saying the facility would house 103 inmates and employ 18 to 24 people. The minutes do not specify a project timeline, estimated construction cost, or the precise financing mechanism the county will request from the state.
The update was presented as an informational item; the minutes do not record a motion or vote related to approving design work or funding at this meeting. Any subsequent formal action, financing request, or budgetary appropriation would be recorded at a future meeting.
