LAKE COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) - The Lake County Sheriff’s Office shared a progress update Friday on the construction of the new jail facility.

According to a Facebook post, the new facility is being built across the street from the current jail.

An aerial video of the construction shared in the Facebook post was taken on Oct. 27 showing an update of the building.

The post said the detention facility will go far in meeting the safety and security needs of Lake County.

It will be instrumental to helping the sheriff’s office achieve its goal of returning inmates back to the community better than when they first arrive, according to the Facebook post.
