In 2017, Mono County obtained a grant from the California “Board of State and Community Corrections” (BSCC) for $25,000,000 to build a new jail in Bridgeport, California.
The County completed site due diligence, gained approvals various State agencies to establish the project.
Mono County hired Lionakis, an expert in Corrections facility design, to design the jail and final site improvements.
The Construction contract was awarded to Broward Builders, Inc. and construction is underway.
