A deal has been reached for a significant sale. The amount agreed upon is $68 million. This sum will be paid for a detention center. Space is currently being leased by a county, but an agreement is set to end soon.

The sale is expected to alleviate overcrowding at a main jail. This facility is also understaffed. Further details about the sale and its implications are available.

A condition of the sale was participation in a program to boost economic and healthcare development. A vote was held on this matter, with a decision made in July.
