During a recent government meeting, officials provided an update on the ongoing search for a site for a new jail facility. As of now, no location has been selected, and the review process for potential sites is still underway. Authorities expressed hope that they would soon have more information to share with the public and county colleagues.

The discussion also highlighted community concerns, with officials noting that many constituents have voiced their belief that the issues surrounding the jail and the justice department should have been addressed much earlier, specifically citing a timeline of 15 years ago. This sentiment underscores the urgency felt by residents regarding the need for improvements in the justice system.
