They’ve found a new home for the Oklahoma County Jail… again.
After plans for an Airport Jail never took flight, and a proposal for a Stockyards Jail was put out to pasture, Oklahoma County officials have settled on a new, very-fitting home for the long-awaited facility – Del City!
Via Yawn Doc:
After hours of public comments and a protracted executive session led to a five-hour meeting today, the Oklahoma County Board of Commissioners selected a site at 1901 E. Grand Boulevard as the location for the new county jail, although a long road remains before ground will be broken.
District 3 Commissioner Myles Davidson and District 2 Commissioner Brian Maughan voted for the 1901 E. Grand site, while District 1 Commissioner Carrie Blumert voted against it and said in a news release that she is “disappointed” by the decision.
Yep, that’s right!
Add some extra meat to the skillet, Mid-Del Taco! The rough and tumble hamlet that TLO readers once named the metro’s “Worst Suburb” is about to get an injection of the hard-knock life!
