Alpena County Sheriff Steve Kieliszewski on Wednesday shows off the new lockers in one of two locker rooms in the new county jail under construction now.
ALPENA — The new Alpena County jail on M-32 is in the final phase of construction and keys to the new facility should be turned over to the county in early February.
Road patrol staff are expected to be the first to move to the new office, followed shortly by corrections employees and inmates.
The county will likely have to hire additional employees to properly man the facility, but how many new hires are needed is not yet known.
