With the general election less than three weeks away, the Antelope County Board of Supervisors again found themselves immersed in matters involving a new county jail/law enforcement center.
A representative from the architectural firm of Prochaska & Associates, explained to the board their proposal to oversee construction of the new jail which is expected to be completed in the summer of 2014. Architect Steve Riley said the firm’s project fee to oversee construction of the facility is just over $447,000. Just what will the supervisors get for that amount?
