Daniel Zuckerman is reporting in The Daily Mail a resolution to authorize funding for the construction of a new Greene County Jail will not be presented to the county Legislature during its meeting Wed., Feb. 15. The decision to table the item was announced by county officials Mon., Feb. 13. Following a meeting with members of the New York State Commission of Correction last week, lawmakers decided to explore alternative options for the project, Legislator William Lawrence said. "We should take a look at those options. We are still undecided about the exact size," he said. New design options could possibly include plans for a 92-bed, and a 100-bed jail, Lawrence said. "We don’t want to be building an addition or boarding out in five years," he said. The project will be delayed for at least two months, the Cairo Republican said. The discussion about the scope of the project will continue at a meeting of the Public Safety Committee on March 1. "We know that we can’t use the current site [in Catskill] and we can’t board all the inmates out. We can’t build on the same site," Lawrence said. Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden denied the rumored $90 million price tag for the project. He told the paper the new jail would cost "a shade over" $70 million, which includes the cost of building a parking lot on the site. The $70 million would be raised from a $52 million bond and funds from the county budget, Groden said. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
