(KMZA)--A public meeting will be held in Axtell Tuesday evening on a proposal to finance part of the cost of a new jail in Marshall County.
The meeting will be at 7:00 at the Axtell American Legion.
Previously, meetings were held in Marysville and Blue Rapids.
Commissioners will join Marshall County Sheriff Tim Ackerman, the jail's architect, construction manager at-risk and financial adviser to explain the proposed jail project and answer residents questions.
Marshall County voters will decide during a special election April 25 whether the county should sign a lease-purchase agreement not to exceed $6.5 million to finance a portion of the new jail project during a special election April 25. The total estimated cost is $12 million.
A protest petition filed in October spurred the election.
