Anoka County Jail Replacement
In 2018, an internal work group was formed, and the National Institute of Corrections was engaged to do a Jail and Justice System Assessment. The resulting report was provided in January of 2020. Based on this report, the County’s jail facility is facing capacity issues and a variety of functional deficiencies. The Board has decided on a preliminary site plan and amended the contract with an architecture firm to begin the schematic design phase of the project. This project may be halted at any point but continues to move forward.
Initial estimates place the replacement of the Jail at $163.98 million, with construction beginning in 2024 and finishing by the end of 2025. The County is anticipated to issue debt to fund the project in late 2024. The project's final cost has not been determined but as more information is discovered, our estimates will be updated.
