GRAND FORKS — The $38 million Grand Forks County detention center expansion project is on track for early completion, according to a senior project manager with the company tasked with building it. It includes a new juvenile center and an expansion of the adult correctional center.
The juvenile center replaces an outdated facility and provides 16 beds for non-secure youth and 16 beds for secure detention. The adult expansion adds 72 new beds in a medium-security dormitory-style configuration. The project began in July 2023, and is expected to be completed three months early, in May 2025. ICON Architectural Group and HDR worked together on designing the project.
