Commissioners want to wait on new jail
AUBURN â Two out of three DeKalb County Commissioners made it clear Monday that they do not support building a jail right now.
During their weekly meeting at the courthouse in Auburn, Bill Hartman and Todd Sanderson said they want to wait until a spike in construction costs subsides.
The commissioners have been considering a new jail seriously since January, when they chose the Elevatus architecture firm of Fort Wayne to design a jail on property at the west edge of Auburn.
âI think I can make a good decision today. In fact, Iâm not ready to raise taxes to do this,â Hartman said.
AUBURN â The Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum on Tuesday announced a new brick- and-mortar capital campaign titled âBuilding the Future.â
During the planning phase of the campaign, an anonymous $500,000 contribution was made for construction of a new multi-purpose building on the museumâs campus south of Auburn, a news release said.
An additional $500,000 matching grant challenge also has been pledged. All donations up to $500,000 will be matched through Nov. 1
The new building will provide a much-needed conservation and preservation center, vehicle storage, educational facilities and an expanded exhibition/display area that can be used as a multi-purpose events space, a news release said.
