WOOD COUNTY – Wood County Sheriff Shawn Becker said that on March 22, the Wood County Sheriff’s Department moved those incarcerated at the old Wood County Jail to the new facility.
“The process took several hours, and we would like to thank all of our staff who worked hard to make this happen. As a result of careful planning the move took place without any incidents. Our next step will be to move all inmates back that are being housed out of county,” Becker said.
“The next phase of the project will be demolishing the old jail along with developing parking around the courthouse. Please to be patient with the process.”
On March 24, the new main entrance to the Wood County Courthouse was also put into operation.
“As a result, all employees and visitors will be required to use the new entrance and the current entrance will be closed,” Becker said.
“Temporary signage will be in place to direct everyone to the new location. Since this change introduces a new entrance and process, we encourage visitors to allow extra time when arriving to familiarize themselves with the new routes.”
