GRAYSON COUNTY, Tex. -- Grayson County Commissioners are requesting proposals from three different firms to build a new jail.
Corrections Corporations of America, Southwestern Correctional, and Community Corrections of America are all scheduled to give their plans for the facility.
The site in question is ninety-three acres off Baker Road and U.S. Highway 82.
Commissioners are also allowing ten minutes every week for public citizen input as long as necessary as they move forward potential private companies to build a new jail.
"They will sit down with our purchasing agent, with our sheriff, and they will start working up what they propose to build and what it would cost," Grayson County Commissioner Johnny Waldrip said.
The deadline to submit proposals is October 1.
