Public Meeting Held Regarding Pike County Jail Proposals

On February 19, 2019 Pike County Residents had the opportunity to review the proposals for the new Pike County Jail in the first of two public meetings to be held this week. Approximate costs for such a facility range from $19 million to $28 million.

“The presentation is going to consist of the methodology, the engagement, what we were hired to do, how went about doing it, what our findings were and what our conclusions are,” Ken Upchurch with TCU Consulting stated.

After the presentation, county residents ask questions about the proposed sites and costs.

‘It was a great meeting.” resident Keith Roling said. “…I think Mr. Upchurch did a great job of outlining everything thats going on here today, and I think its a great move forward for Pike County.”

A second public meeting is scheduled for Thursday night at the Pike County Courthouse. To read more about this public meeting, please click here.
