WASHINGTON COUNTY JAIL UPDATE

WORK CONTINUES ON THE NEW WASHINGTON COUNTY JAIL.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW JAIL IS RUNNING CLOSE TO SCHEDULE, WITH A COMPLETION DATE SET FOR THE END OF MAY. WORK WAS INITIALLY SLOWED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RAIN FALL, BUT DRY CONDITIONS GOING BACK TO THE SUMMER MONTHS OF 2010 HAVE ALLOWED SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS SO FAR AND HELPING TO KEEP THE PROJECT PRETTY MUCH ON SCHEDULE.

"SLATED TO BE READY ON THE LAST OF MAY. YOU KNOW, WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DO. THEY'RE POURING SOME CONCRETE OUT THERE IN THE DRIVEWAY NOW AND THEY HAVE THE ROOF ON, THEY HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER HOOK UP, THEY'RE HOOKING UP THE MAIN POWER THIS WEEK SO THEY CAN RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING AND TEST THAT OUT.."


THE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED TO DELAY THE PROJECT SINCE MOST OF THE REMAINING WORK WILL BE ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING.
