Description | As of October 11, 2023, this project still hasn't moved forward, but there is a possibility for a May 2024 Millage vote. The consultant completed a feasibility study. An architect has not been selected. Due to the preliminary nature of this project, a timeline for bidding and construction has yet to be announced. The Antrim County community is discussing options to replace or renovate the aging jail and administrative buildings. The County presented options for this project at a meeting on April 23, 2019. Those options identified in the Master Plan are Option F, Option G, Option H and Option I, described below. These descriptions reflect the first phase of construction that the city wants to accomplish in the next five years. Option F: Re-use existing jail and administrative campus All facilities remain would remain on the existing campus. The Grove Street Annex and bank would be demolished, and a new Sheriff's Office and jail would be built The courthouse and administration building would be renovated. Pros: This plan has the lowest cost estimate. Considerations: Grove Street would need to be vacated to make space to reuse the existing buildings. Estimated cost of first phase: $22,379,945 - $ 25,904,878 Option G: Relocate all county buildings The county would gradually move buildngs to a remote site near M-88 and the Animal Control Office. The Sheriff's Office and jail would be built first, and the new courthouse and administration building would be installed in a secondary phase. Pros: This would allow the sale of current property and facilities and could make redevelopment of existing site. Considerations: This is the most expensive of all the options. Estimated cost of first phase: $24,271,080 - $ 28,206,931 Option H: Divided campus The jail and Sheriff's Office would be moved to M-88 while the courthouse and administration building would be renovated at their existing location. Pros: The demolition of the jail and Sheriff's office mean more parking downtown. Considerations: More costs to transport jail inmates between both campuses Early surveys from the county data show majority support for a new jail at m-88 site. Estimated cost of first phase: $24,732,921 - $ 28,743,665 Option I: Split campus and new construction The county would build a new jail and Sheriff's office at the remote site and new administration building and parking lot would be built on east side of current county campus. Pros: More parking or room for development Considerations: More costs related to transport between facilities Estimated cost of first phase: $24,550,022 - $ 28,531,106 |
