There will be two open house times today at the Fayette County Courthouse and Jail.
The Open House times will be from 1 pm to 3 pm today and then from 5 pm to 7 pm today. Fayette County Board Member Merrell Collins talks about the open house.
The Open House is to provide potential voters with more information on the condition of the courthouse and jail as voters are being asked whether or not to support a 1% sale tax increase to pay for a new courthouse and jail in the April 1st Election. Collins says they have been working to meet with more and more folks to discuss the issues.
The county is proposing the 1% sales tax increase as a way to fund the new courthouse and jail that would be a 59,700 square foot facility with an 80 bed jail at a cost of 44.3 million dollars. The sales tax increase would be for 35 years to fund the project.
