Gwen Rummell Reporting –
The construction of the Harrison County Jail is currently underway on a plot of land that was previously the old U.S. Army Reserve.
At a recent meeting, commissioners signed an amendment for the guaranteed maximum price for the jail and detention center.
The need for a new facility arose due to transportation costs and the need to keep deputies on the road.
The cost of the new jail is approximately $17 million.
The projected completion date of the jail is set for March 2025.
