Johnson County weighs courthouse jail plan after bond failure
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors huddled to address urgent safety needs at the jail and courthouse after a 43.4 million bond for a justice center failed. They discussed ADA compliant entry, a new jail locking system at 1.6 to 2 million, possible inmate moves, and an alternative that would relocate the complex to the Poor Farm with a courthouse museum and sale of properties to fund new facilities over 10 years.
