Planning work continues for the renovation for the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail, a project that will address accessibility issues but will not expand the number of beds.
On Thursday, the Jail Authority will host the first of three community meetings for members of the public to review three design options as produced by the firm Moseley Architects. The event will be from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Carver Recreation Center in the classroom lounge.
“The nice thing is that all of these meetings will be recorded,” said Supervisor Diantha McKeel, a member of the Authority Board. She announced the meeting last week at the Board of Supervisors.
There’s a Zoom link for those who want to attend virtually. The other two meetings will be on February 12 and February 27 also at the Carver Recreation Center.
The General Assembly has agreed to fund a quarter of the costs of the renovation. Elected officials in Albemarle County, Charlottesville, and Nelson County have all agreed in principle to contribute their share of the costs for planning.
