Fulton County asked about housing inmates by western Indiana county

Fulton County’s new jail may soon see some new occupants from out of town.

 

Fulton County Commissioner Bryan Lewis says they have been contacted by Vermilion County in western Indiana.  Vermilion County is in the midst of a planned remodel of its jail facilities and is trying to find space for prisoners to be re-located during that project.

 

 

In area roads work, Fulton County is going to work with the City of Rochester on a culvert project.

 

 

Aside from that, county highway is handling some of the usual road maintenance that crops up this time of year.

 

 

Back to the new Fulton County Jail site, Lewis noted good news in the extended wait to move communications to the site.  He noted foundations are finally in for the tower which he hopes can also be set soon.  He hopes it could be operational in the next two months.

 

Once communications / 911 is moved out of the old facility the county can look to move probation into the old sheriff’s site.
