Captain Kelly told the Wayne County Community Corrections Board on March 2 that the county jail construction project is "progressing well and relatively on schedule." The update closed with a reminder of the board's next meeting on June 1, 2026.
Piper Davidson provided a separate update on in-jail behavioral health services, saying the work is "reflecting lower numbers of crisis calls and higher numbers of stabilization, connection to services & increase in MAT referrals." The reported trends — fewer crisis calls and more connections to medication-assisted treatment — were presented as early indicators that increased coordination among jail staff, crisis teams and behavioral-health providers is affecting jail demand. The board discussed continued emphasis on staffing and program links as the facility comes online.
