- Union County to hold public hearing on $200M jail bond referendum
Union County will hold a public hearing on a $200 million bond referendum to fund a new detention center, which would double the jail’s capacity to 500 beds. The bond would increase property taxes by 3.11 cents, costing a $400,000 home an additional $124.40 annually. Current jail issues include overcrowding, structural problems, and maintenance challenges.
