IRON COUNTY, Utah — The Iron County Board of Commissioners is trying to get the approval of voters to build a brand new jail, which they say is desperately needed.
At a meeting Monday night, the board proposed a bond that would build a new facility in order to provide housing to inmates, create jobs and replace existing structures that are deteriorating. The current jail has been in use since 1987 and the county says they can't make any changes because of restrictions.
Water line issues, cracks from settling and out-of-date electrical work plague the currently used jail and the county wants to start from scratch.Now, the board needs to get construction plans approved by voters. In total, the bond would designate $89,950,000 to the jail's construction."It's $153 per year," explained Luke Little, Auditor for Iron County during the meeting."That bond, once it's paid off, then that would fall off of your property taxes.
County officials report the jail will generate a revenue of between $2.5 and five million dollars a year after salaries are paid and once the bond is paid off.
