Sullivan Jail Bids Opening This Morning
Bids for erection of the new $200,000 Sullivan County jail will be opened at 10 o’clock this morning in the office of the county purchasing agent at Blountville.
The plans for the new jail were completed recently by Milton P. Robelot, Kingsport architect.
General contract for construction of the building and the contract for furnishing and installing jail equipment will be let under separate contracts.
The new building will be a two-story, concrete and brick modern structure. It will be erected at the immediate rear of the county courthouse at Blountville and will replace the inadequate and antiquated jail building some distance at the rear from the courthouse.
