Sheriff outlines vendor, cost updates for proposed 80‑bed Greer County jail
Summary
Sheriff Steve McMahan briefed the Greer County commissioners about vendor modifications and cost updates for a proposed 80‑bed law enforcement center; commissioners agreed to discuss the project further but took no construction vote.
Sheriff Steve McMahan updated the Greer County Board of Commissioners on plans for a proposed 80‑bed law enforcement center and described vendor modifications and cost updates discussed with county officials. The board voted to discuss the project during the May 11 meeting; no final contract or construction authorization was recorded.
The proposal discussed would create an 80‑bed facility to expand local detention capacity. McMahan’s update focused on vendor modifications and revised cost figures, though the transcript does not record a specific dollar total or a formal procurement decision. Commissioners did not adopt a construction timeline or award a contract during the meeting.
The discussion was opened after a motion by Vice‑Chairman Steven Fite, seconded by Brent York, which the board approved unanimously to place the topic on the agenda. The board’s action at this session was limited to discussing the proposal and receiving the sheriff’s update. Further budgetary or procurement steps were not recorded; the issue remains under consideration and may return to a future meeting for detailed review and possible formal action.
