ARKANSAS COUNTY – AR: Madison County moves forward with construction of new jail

The quorum court decided to go ahead and move forward with constructing a new jail as they explore ways to fund its operation in the future.

Voters passed the 0.5% measure on Election Day but failed to approve the 1.25% sales tax increase to maintain the jail’s operations.

Sheriff-Elect Ronnie Boyd said one of the ways the operational costs of the jail could be funded is through a new bond measure.
