Groundbreaking Ceremony to be held on Wednesday in Beltrami County

Beltrami County will be holding a groundbreaking for the Beltrami County Jail on Wednesday at noon at the site of the new jail in the Industrial Park. The Minnesota Department of Corrections issued a notice to Beltrami County several years ago requiring that substantial investments be made to the current jail as a condition of continued operation of the facility. Committed to mitigating these deficiencies, Beltrami County staff and Commissioners have been working for several years studying and planning for the future of the County Jail. Beltrami County Voters approved a five eighths percent local option sales tax to fund the eighty million dollar project.
