(KMZA)--An informational meeting will be held Tuesday evening, April 11, in Frankfort on the proposal to build a new Marshall County Jail.

The meeting will be at 7:00 at the Leo McMinimy American Legion located at 708 North Locust Street in Frankfort.

Previously, informational meetings were held in Axtell, Marysville and Blue Rapids.

Marshall County Commissioners will join 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. The overall project cost has been estimated at $12 million.

A protest petition filed in October spurred the election.
