Johnson County residents can tour jail ahead of Justice Center vote
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office is again offering tours of its headquarters and the county jail in advance of an election on a criminal justice center.
The 45-minute tours are at 6 p.m. Feb. 26 and March 12, and at 1 p.m. March 2. Contact Capt. Dave Wagner at (319) 356-6020 ext. 1035 or at dmwagner@co.johnson.ia.us.
Johnson County voters will go to the polls May 7 to decide on a $43.5 million bond issue to help pay for a justice center, which would have a new jail and court space. A similar proposal failed to get enough support in last November's election.
The county also offered
jail tours in advance of last fall's vote.
