Supervisors discuss Old Jail demolition cost, asbestos question and grant pursuit
Summary
Louisa County supervisors discussed the Old Jail’s upkeep and an estimated $30,000 demolition cost Jan. 13; members asked whether asbestos is present and Chair Hardin said he would raise grant opportunities at a SEIRPC meeting; no decision was made.
Board members raised concerns about leaving the Old Jail unused and the cost implications of continued nonuse. Supervisor Scot Hunt said demolition costs were approximately $30,000 and board members asked about potential asbestos presence that could increase costs.
Chair Kevin Hardin said he would bring the issue to the Southeast Iowa Regional Planning Commission meeting to ask about grant opportunities. The minutes record no final decision or directive to demolish; the board noted the matter for further consideration.
