Original Gratiot site jail plan, set for completion in mid 2014:

2,000 beds. $300 million cost. $200 million in bonds obtained in
2010. Audit showed that about $40 million in cost overruns was
expected by county execs and this info was not shared timely with
the Wayne County Board of Commissioners and the Wayne County
Building Authority:

[[With appreciation to the Detroit Free Press for its FOIA fight in this
matter - the county should have been transparent in the first place
especially with its oversight boards)

End cost including overruns, lower estimate $270 million;
highest estimate $391 million - that was for the Wayne County
jail Gratiot site.
