Juvenile Detention Facility Expansion Project
Yamhill County Juvenile Department was awarded a federal grant of
$750,000 to expand the Juvenile Detention Facility from its' current 18
beds up to 24 beds. This project will allow the county to handle
population growth into the next decade.
Additional cells will be added within the current courthouse structure.
Space formerly occupied by the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office will be
utilized for this expansion.
Yamhill County has contracted with Karl Schulz of Ethos Development,
Inc. to manage the project. Mr. Schulz formerly managed the
construction of the Yamhill County Juvenile Detention Facility
in 1995-96. A preliminary design was drawn to help determine the
scope of the project (see project floor plan). A preliminary schedule
of design and construction was developed
(see schedule).
