Wilson County jail project faces cost overrun seeks federal help
Wilson County commissioners heard the jail project will exceed original costs by about 402000 dollars due to higher lumber and detention equipment prices as more jails rise nationwide. They asked Adams Richardson and Associates to pursue a U S Marshal Service construction assistance grant that could provide 400000 to 600000 in funding with 40 a day per federal prisoner housing revenue. If grant fails the project may be scaled back delaying mechanical and plumbing work.
