With early voting over and the polls set to open at 7 a.m. Saturday, the architect for the proposed new Coryell County Jail explained why building a brand new facility would be the most beneficial option for the county.
What is at stake is whether to allow the county to issue general obligation bonds in the amount of $30.9 million for the construction of the jail.
If the measure passes, it is still up to the countyâs court of commissioners to act on it.
Jeff Heffelfinger, president of Southwest Architects, based out of Cresson, said when his company was hired by the county, he was hired to design a new facility.
