Latest jail news

Guilford County is moving along with plans for a new jail in downtown Greensboro even though the commissioners haven't decided how to pay for it yet.

Here's the latest: A committee of staff and commissioners have narrowed a pool of about 30 potential jail architects to two. They are HOK, headquartered in St. Louis, and Moseley Architects of Richmond, Va.

The committee interviewed both firms earlier this month, along with three other groups that responded to the county's request for qualifications but didn't make the final cut.

Commissioners will choose an architect after HOK and Moseley tell them how much their design services will cost.

It's such a shame that NO local architectural firms (unless there's something I'm unaware of) can do this sort of work.
