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.

The city will not partner with the county on the new jail, but instead will build its own facility.
Mayor Lucas says Kansas City will not partner with Jackson County on detention center

Sounds like fair reasoning and an appropriate response to what Jackson County was trying to pull.
