Athens County residents would pay about 15 cents yearly per $1,000 for 24 years if the $100,000 jail bond is approved on November 4. Architects William Mills and Carl Porter argue a new jail funded by bonds is cheaper than a state levy, which could cost $2 to $8 per $1,000 annually short term. They describe a modern, sanitary jail built with local materials by local labor, replacing a 1869 structure that housed far more inmates than its design allowed.
