Northpoint Training Center Rebuilding Cost
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky prison officials say it will cost $18.8 million to rebuild at Northpoint Training Center, where most of the buildings were destroyed or damaged in a fiery riot. Officials said construction at the medium-security prison should be complete by the end of next year. The comments came during a meeting Thursday of the Capital Planning Advisory Board. Five buildings used for visitation, medical use and other services were destroyed and most of the prison's dormitories were damaged last year at the facility near Burgin in central Kentucky. About 700 inmates are housed there now.
