Tulare County Board of Supervisors

The Tulare County Board of Super­vi­sors could can­cel on Tues­day plans to close two rural, waste-transfer sta­tions and approve con­tracts val­ued at more than $9 mil­lion to design and over­see con­struc­tion of a new south county jail.
Most of the planned 514-bed jail will be paid for with a $60 mil­lion state grant. That money is part of $1.2 bil­lion from California’s Jail Con­struc­tion Financ­ing Pro­gram to build new jails and expand exist­ing ones in the state.
