OCEAN COUNTY, NJ - Plans to expand the Ocean County jail to accommodate a growing inmate population and to provide an upgraded facility with improved security are moving forward. The Ocean County Board of Freeholders was recently updated on the expansion and renovation plans, which call for 157,000 square feet of additions and alterations at the Ocean County Justice Complex on Hooper Avenue, Toms River. "This expansion is not something we arbitrarily decided to undertake," said freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as director of law and public safety. "This has been discussed and studied for more than two years. It's really a matter of maintaining public safety that has brought us here today." The presentation to the board was made by Jack A. King and Allan R. Johnson, principals in the architectural engineering firm of Fletcher Thompson. According to a press release, the proposed expansion would include the construction of new space at the rear of the justice complex and a two-story addition on the south side of the existing building. The Ocean County jail currently is on the fourth and fifth floors of the justice complex. Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
