New County Jail

Just curious. What happens to the old jail building DT KC? That's a fairly substantial building that is not all that old but could be difficult to repurpose.

Yes, it will be hard to repurpose except maybe for a server farm.

I imagine it will get demolished and sold for redevelopment.

The lack of large windows (by design of course) would be a major limiting reuse factor for sure.

Cost of jail is now north of $300 million. Finally approved though - site work to begin

Any money dedicated to doing something with the old jail?

I think the plan is to demolish the old jail and redevelop the site.
