The Shannon County Jail addition is moving forward, with construction continuing steadily despite some weather-related delays. While inclement weather has occasionally slowed work, efforts are being made to keep the project on track and ensure timely completion.
The Shannon County Commission, along with Prosecutor and other officials, have been in regular communication with the engineers at Smith & Company to monitor the progress and address any issues as they arise. The collaboration between local leaders and project engineers aims to ensure that the construction proceeds smoothly, despite occasional setbacks caused by the weather.
Recently, a meeting was held with the jailhouse oversight committee, which consists of Shannon County citizens who are actively involved in overseeing the project’s development. This meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the current status, review the next steps, and address any community concerns.
The Shannon County Jail addition is expected to be completed on or by December 2025, with all parties optimistic about reaching this important milestone for the county. This addition will play a crucial role in meeting the growing needs of the county’s law enforcement and justice system.
