Groundbreaking for the Lafayette County Jail

Here are pictures from today's groundbreaking of the Lafayette County Jail in Lewisville. The construction of the jail (as well as maintenance and operation) is being financed by the passage of two sales tax secured bond issues. Construction is underway, and a completion date is set for the end of 2008. After the groundbreaking, I took a tour of the Lafayette County School District Elementary with Superintendent Jack Broach.
