Inmates work inside the laundry room Monday afternoon at the County's new Correctional Institute under construction on Barber Road. Recent rains have delayed the opening about one month but officials still expect a mid-January grand opening.
Persistent rain has pushed back the opening of the new Hall County Correctional Institution by more than a month, but Warden Walt Davis still expects a mid-January grand opening for the facility. “We’re excited about being able to move into the new facility,” Davis said. The new location is a short move down Barber Road toward the Hall County Jail in Gainesville.
