The next Community Conversations event is happening in Jefferson.

September’s focus will be on information regarding a proposed new Greene County Jail. Greene County Sheriff Jack Williams, Jefferson Police Chief Mark Clouse and Greene County Attorney Thomas Laehn will discuss the reasons the county needs a new jail. The estimated cost from engineering firm ISG that was proposed to the County Board of Supervisors in August for a new 24 cell jail was over $12 million. 

The free public informal discussion will take place Thursday at 5:30pm at Trinity Lutheran Church in Jefferson, with a social time and snacks at 5pm.
