Supported the facility after seeing the current jail's condition firsthand, but asked how construction would disrupt the Simon Kenton Bike Trail.

Backed the new jail and said the location could bring infrastructure upgrades to the area; asked about local contractor participation.

Asked whether the full 50-acre site would be used, whether county services could share it, and how much of the $125 million would go to local vendors.
