CLEVELAND, Ohio — After a contentious meeting and five hours of discussion, an oversight committee guiding planning for a new Cuyahoga County jail agreed to continue pursuing a preferred location, as long as a number of other conditions are met.
The 12-member Justice Center Executive Steering Committee unanimously voted to consider a shipping container yard at 2700 Transport Road as their preferred site for a new 1900-bed jail, based on an amendment that requires a phase two environmental study be done first “to provide reasonable assurance that current environmental restrictions can be removed, and the property is safe for residential use.”
