TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – Work on the new Vigo County Jail is on schedule and within budget.
Vigo County Commissioner Brendan Kearns said everyone involved with the project meets monthly to discuss various components of the design. Topics discussed on Monday included technology and lighting.
He says one thing that will be good for both jail employees and inmates are the “sky lights” on top of the building, which will allow natural light into the facility.
“There are studies that actually show that having natural light coming into the facility can help keep people a little calmer, so we’ve done things like that in the jail design to make it less institutional while being a safe and secure facility for our employees and inmates,” Kearns said.

Apr. 7 Duke Energy Renewables Solar LLC is planning to build a $180 million solar farm in southern Vigo County and northern Sullivan County.
The company Tuesday went before the Vigo County Council seeking a 10-year tax abatement on property and 10-year tax abatement on personal property of $100 million, as about 60 percent of the project is in Vigo County. It is a proposed project built in two counties, both Vigo and Sullivan counties, which is being called Hoosier Jack Solar, said Tyler Coon, business development manager for Duke Energy Renewables Solar.
The company proposes a 175 megawatt, ground-mounted solar generation facility, would provide enough electricity to power 35,000 homes. Of the $100 million in Vigo County, about $95 million is for new solar equipment, with $5 million for site preparation, Coon said.
