approved by the Planning and Zoning board in 1981.
The Detention Facility Phase One was approved in 1983.
The campus was granted an exemption from the requirements of the City's

reviewing authority is found in the state statutes.
The Alternative Sentencing Unit and Detention Facility Phase Two Expansion
were approved in 1991.

Planning and Zoning Board in 1998 due to the lack of a public sidewalk along
Midpoint Drive. The Expansion denial was then overturned and approved by the
Board of County Commissioners.
The Sheriffs Office Building was approved in 2000.
Community Corrections Phase One was initially denied by the Planning and
Zoning Board in 2003 but this denial was then overturned and approved by the
Board of County Commissioners.
