Boone County commissioners celebrated the development of the new justice center Monday with Sheriff Nielson and other stakeholders.
“After many years of planning and working through this much-needed development, we are looking forward to seeing this project finally come to fruition,” commissioners said. “Despite some setbacks, we are grateful to see the project make headway. More importantly, we believe this is a critical step to move Boone County into the future.”“This was one of the most cost-effective projects we could do and I’m grateful to see it move forward,” Jeff Wolfe, Boone County Commissioner President said.
“The expanded Justice Center really addresses those suffering from mental health issues and addiction needs in Boone County,” Sheriff Nielsen said. “We currently do not have the space or facilities we need to make sure all our inmates are taken care of. I’m happy to see this project moving forward, and it will have long-lasting positive impacts for Boone County.”
“This is a generational investment as a partnership between the Boone County Sheriff, Commissioners, and Council,” said Rob Barnes, Hagerman Group’s Director of Government Affairs and Business Development. “This justice center is truly rethinking criminal justice for the community instead of warehousing people - it values the communication of care to bring people back to becoming productive members of society.
“When I first met Sheriff Nielsen and the Commissioners, you could tell immediately that they wanted to create a facility unlike any other in the state. They were outside the box thinkers and instantly knew that I wanted to help bring their vision to reality,” said K2m Design President Scott Maloney.
