Dodge County commissioners vote to tear down two old jails for new judicial complex
Summary
The board unanimously approved demolition of two old jail buildings to clear the site for a new judicial complex after a motion by Commissioner Brian Watkins and a second from Commissioner Jeffrey Jones.
The Dodge County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously July 6, 2026, to demolish two old jail buildings to make way for construction of a new judicial complex. Commissioner Brian Watkins made the motion and Commissioner Jeffrey Jones seconded; the board discussed the project and approved the demolition by unanimous vote.
The minutes record the action as part of Old Business; the board provided opportunity for public comment before voting. The decision clears a key early hurdle for the judicial project but does not in itself authorize design, contracting, or funding for the new complex, which would require subsequent actions by the board.
