Katie Kocijanski is reporting in The Daily Mail the Greene County Legislature will select a construction manager for the proposed new county jail next month. Four potential candidates will be interviewed by the Jail Construction Committee beginning July 7. BBL Construction Services of Albany, Turner Construction Company of New York City, Gilbane Building Company of Providence, Rhode Island, and the Pike Company of Clifton Park in Saratoga County have all formally indicated interest in the project. Greene County Jail Superintendent Mike Spitz said, “I called all of the county jail administrators and no one said anything negative about any of the companies.” Everyone on the list has municipal building experience and some have more experience building jails than others, Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said. Legislators will hold a special session July 14 to discuss the interview results and decide the next steps in the project. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
