Wisconsin -- For more than 30 years, two temporary mobile structures have provided the St. Croix County Correctional Center with much needed housing and educational space but with time the structures have degraded, compelling the Department of Corrections to request funding to replace the structures. The two structures, which have long outlived their 15 to 20 year life expectancy, will soon be replaced because the legislature approved $3.2 million for a Housing Replacement project at the Correctional Center in the 2011-13 biennial capital budget. Now that the long awaited funding has been approved, the Department of Corrections is wasting no time in moving forward with the project. On Feb. 15, the state Building Commission approved $80,000 in planning funds to create a design study for the project, said Linda Eggert, DOC’s public information director. Although steps in making the project a reality are being made, many more need to be taken and approved by the Building Commission before the modular units can be consigned to history. Once the study is complete, the Building Commission must approve the design before voting on whether to release the money for construction. If the commission releases the funds for construction, a competitive bidding process according to state rules and regulations must be followed, and construction is likely to begin in April 2013.
