Earlier this month, a Michigan-based developer agreed to donate a 73-acre parcel of land to the county for the project. The land is located along Route 13 South in Cortlandville, adjoining the Tractor Supply store on the east side of the highway.
Cortland County Sheriff Mark Helms and Undersheriff Budd Rigg will present information regarding the next steps toward construction of a new correctional facility.
The presentation will cover issues of overcrowding and boarding out inmates, as well as related costs to the proposed facility, which has an estimated price tag of $38 million.
