Mills County board hears update on law enforcement center condition

(Glenwood) -- While still several years down the road, Mills County officials are beginning to plan for potential major upgrades to the county law enforcement center. At its regular meeting Thursday morning, the Mills County Board of Supervisors heard from County Sheriff Greg Schultz during general discussion regarding the law enforcement center building's condition. The sheriff's office moved into the current facility at 600 Industrial Road in 2014 after voters approved a $6.4 million bond issue in 2012 to construct the law enforcement center. Roughly 12 years later, Schultz says parts are beginning to fail. Fortunately, he says County Facilities Coordinator Chad Rasmussen has addressed most of the issues so far.
