The Bartholomew County Commissioners presented their five-year capital maintenance and improvement plan for facilities and roads. After making the presentation to the county council, Commissioner Larry Kleinhenz explained the highlights.
Kleinhenz explains that money for these projects will come out of the county CEDIT funds, which are controlled by the county council.
Kleinhenz explains that renovating the jail is a top priority.
The report indicated that $2.6 million will be needed to maintain, update and upgrade the jail over the next five years. Other areas needing improvement are the county highway garage, the courthouse and the emergency operations center, among others.
