OREGON – While the exact configuration of a new jail in downtown Oregon is in limbo, Ogle County is still moving forward on the project.
Members of the board’s Long Range Planning Committee recently planned a trip to DeKalb to check out its progress on a new jail, also being built downtown. County Board Member Don Griffin, Jr. said about 10 or so board members made the trip.
“We had a pretty good tour of how they’ve managed that entire facility,” he said.
At the County Board meeting on Tuesday, board member Zach Oltmanns said the members got some ideas about how Ogle County could do things with its proposed jail.
“I think it was a very good tour for us as County Board members,” he told the board.
