Saline County Jail Construction Reaches Halfway Mark

Thank you for signing up to stay informed about the Saline County Jail Project. If you no longer wish to receive updates on the Jail Project, please see the unsubscribe information at the bottom of this email.

It has been one year since Saline County Commissioners broke ground on the new County Jail and Sheriff's Office facility in North Salina. With construction slated for substantial completion in 11 more months, construction is at the halfway point.

Saline County Commissioners Monte Shadwick, Jim Weese, Robert Vidricksen, Mike White and Rodger Sparks, along with Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan, break ground at the new jail on October 27, 2021.

To mark this occasion, the Tuesday, November 1, meeting of the Board of County Commissioners will consist of a study session held onsite at the construction trailer just west of the job site (parking lot entrance off of Front Street between Woodland and Pacific Avenues). The meeting, which will begin at 9:00 am, is a public meeting like all meetings of the Commission and members of the public will be able to join Commissioners along with construction team members for a review of progress. Following the meeting, individual tours of the site will be offered to Commissioners but these will not be accessible to the public (nor will a quorum of Commissioners be present) due to safety concerns on the work site.


The next regular monthly update on the jail will be on the regular County Commission agenda the following week, November 8.


Stay tuned for more information!
