The proposed new law enforcement facility in Dallas County would be located east of Adel off Highway 6.

This is slightly further away for those who live in the northwest portion of the county but Citizens for Dallas County member Mark Powell says he believes this is the best location available.

“It’s within the Adel city limits, near Ortonville.  That’s a 40 acre spot that has ample room to grow, it has a lot of the utility hookups, there’s a lagoon present at the location that would need some expansion but is there.  It’s the population center of Dallas County, which is not a popular term here in Perry but in reality it’s within you know, probably about five minutes of extra travel time for the Perry Police Department.”

The bond referendum election takes place May 2nd.
