Construction of the Mills County Law Enforcement Center is expected to begin in the spring or early summer of 2013 and will take about one year to complete.
Mills County residents approved the $6.4 million facility in a special election Tuesday, Aug. 7, by a 987-441 (69-31 percent) margin. The Mills County Law Enforcement Center will replace the existing Mills County Jail and Sheriff’s Office, built in 1915. The new facility to be constructed in an industrial area at 500 Railroad Ave. in Glenwood, will house the sheriff's office and a 24-bed jail.
