The Fayette County Prison project is continuing on schedule and on budget with the facility under roof, and the SPCA to have a building on the grounds.
The start of a multi-year construction plan was marked Thursday with the groundbreaking for a new Fayette County Prison.
Representatives from municipal, county, state and federal government as well as project team members were on hand at the former Army Reserve Training Center on McClellandtown Road in Uniontown, the site for the new Fayette County Prison.
âOur leadership right now is laser focused on this goal,â said Muriel Nuttall, executive director of the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce.
Nuttall said the site that was once of importance for national security will be a place of importance for local security.
Existing buildings on the site will be demolished and replaced with a 114,500 square-foot, four-story facility that will have 170 cells and 330 beds.
