Warehouse Too Big for Jail in Athens Ohio
Architects Frank Lee and Al Vargo say the old McBee Plant No 2 on West State Street is greatly oversized for a jail and could house other county offices or police operations. They note the building needs a full heating overhaul but is nearly non combustible with an asset sprinkler system. City county and university officials discussed security concerns and potential uses while preparing a written plan due Friday.
