On Wednesday, December 18th, the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors approved three items related to building the county’s new jail in Prescott.
Supervisors voted to approve the consent agenda item that allows the county to seek reimbursement of capital and certain other expenditures related to the construction and equipping of the $70M, property-tax-supported Yavapai County Prescott Criminal Justice Facility Project. The facility is to be located off Prescott Lakes Parkway, near the Juvenile Detention Center.

Supervisors also approved a $40,465 Professional Services Agreement with Speedie and Associates for geotechnical, environmental, inspection and testing consultant services for Phase I of the Yavapai County Criminal Justice Center in Prescott.
