Asotin County Commissioners voted 3-0 Monday night in favor of building the new $13.7 million county jail along Sixth Avenue on county-owned property in the Clarkston Heights.
The decision follows months of contentious debate with the city of Clarkston over the commissioners’ preferred site inside city limits near 14th Street and Port Drive.
The county will now apply for a conditional-use permit for the Sixth Avenue site. Public hearings will be conducted by the planning commission and the board as the process moves forward. (Lewiston Tribune)
