Construction on the $117 million facility began in late 2010.
The brick and masonry structure will have three separate, interconnected wings with four-story units housing the inmates and law enforcement offices, while a support building will be three stories high.
Construction on the 1,500-bed facility is expected to last 24 months. The jail is being built on a 40-acre site near the county courthouse. Bonds to build the jail are backed by proceeds from a 1-cent special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST), which was approved by voters and became effective April 1, 2010.
The Construction Manager At Risk is Turner/New South Construction and HOK of Atlanta is the Architect.
