Prison task force meeting set for Tuesday
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The South Dakota Prison Project Reset task force meets Tuesday in Pierre. The meeting agenda includes the site update from consultant Arrington Watkins as well as information on possible prison plans. KELOLAND News will be live streaming the meeting which is set to start at 10:30 a.m. This week, the consultant recommended the original Lincoln County site between Harrisburg and Canton as the best site of 13 for a new prison. Twelve sites had been submitted to the task force for consideration. Of those 12, the consultant said five were potential sites. All five of those potential sites were not as good as the original site. In May, the consultant released an analysis of the existing men's prison and said it needed to be replaced. A multi-phase project with the first as a total of 1,728 beds was recommended. The report said a second roughly 1,700 bed project could be needed in the future. The total project cost was estimated at $1.9 to $2 billion. KELOLAND's Dan Santella will be at Tuesday's meeting. Watch for meeting coverage on the KELOLAND website and KELOLAND News.
