LB150 will <br />authorize the construction of a medium to maximum security, state <br />correctional facility. She stated she is not for or against this <br />project, but wanted to inform the elected officials about the <br />project. This will be a competive site selection and would <br />require that the land be donated and the utilities would need to <br />be provided. This facility could provide an additional 340 jobs <br />and additional medical support services would be needed. A <br />project like this would require an adequate labor force, a strong <br />infra-structure and community support in order to be successful. <br />The community support is an important issue and the public would <br />need adequate information if Hall county chose to be considered <br />as a site. Once the site guideline are established the state <br />would come out to go over these. The first decision that would <br />need to be made would be if the community is interested in this <br />project and wants to provide information to the public to educate <br />and answer all questions. Senator Peterson answered questions <br />from the board members and it was suggested that a community <br />advisory board could be established. Stelk made a motion and <br />Lancaster seconded to hold a joint meeting with the City to <br />secure information and explore the pros and cons of a state <br />correctional facility.
