A 3rd public meeting will be held tomorrow evening involving the possibility of building a new Ogle County jail in the future.
The gathering begins at 7 at the Davis Junction Fire Station.
Plans for the estimated 27 million dollar jail is to be located west of the Judicial Center in Oregon along 6th Street. It will be able to handle between 180 to 200 prisoners.
The project would also include the closure of 6th Street in Oregon with a sally port to connect the Judicial Center with the new jail.
Numerous residents in Oregon have objected to the jail being built in the downtown area.
The current jail in Ogle County was built in the late 1960's.
Future public meetings on the jail include:
**Wednesday Rochelle City Hall
**Thursday Forreston Public Library
**March 7th Mt. Morris Village Hall
**March 9th Oregon Coliseum
All the meetings begin at 7.
