OREGON – The Ogle County Board last week got its first look at the renderings and budget for the new jail to be built in downtown Oregon.
Representatives from HOK Architects and Gilbane Building Company presented a jail schematic design to the board on July 17 that came with a price tag of almost $27 million. That is slightly higher than the estimated $25 million the board had thought the project would cost.
The new jail will be built on county-owned land just west of the Judicial Center and would house between 180 to 200 prisoners.
