Description
Description | The project involves supplying water to a proposed 3,000-bed state prison in Franklin County, Arkansas. The Ozark City Council has stated that they will not discuss supplying water without a formal request from the governor's office or the Arkansas Department of Corrections. The city's water system requires major upgrades estimated between $80 million and $100 million to support the prison. Fort Smith also determined it could not supply water without hundreds of millions of dollars in new infrastructure. The state purchased the property for about $3 million and considers the site the best option for the new prison. |
