THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Quorum Court minutes note that the former Freedom Center building will be torn down to make way for a new county jail, with bidding expected to begin in August. SouthBuild is scheduled to attend a June 30 Jail Committee meeting, suggesting they are involved in planning or design. Procurement for jail construction appears imminent but contractors have not yet been selected. Construction, security, and detention technology vendors should monitor for the formal bid release and engage the Jail Committee about upcoming scope and requirements.
Freedom Center has been moved to the Claude Dill Complex and its former building will be demolished for the new jail.
