New Scott County jail inmates move to modern facility
A year after voters approved a 4.29 million jail and law enforcement center, prisoners have moved from an old cramped jail to a state of the art complex with central command, video monitoring and segmented pods for men and women. The jail houses out of county prisoners at 35 dollars daily and faces occupancy concerns as it opened recently.

Officials expect a Memorial Day weekend 2010 opening for boating on the 440 acre lake, with final dam approval and creek gate closure to follow after state inspection. The 1,100 acre park region and local tourism link to Boot Hill Casino and nearby attractions boost regional plans.
