OKC City Council meeting to discuss next steps for Oklahoma County Detention Center
SUMMARY: Oklahoma City leaders are meeting today to discuss the future location of the Oklahoma County Jail amidst ongoing struggles between the county and city. Recently, the Oklahoma County Board of Commissioners requested court intervention after the city denied a rezoning request for the jail’s construction on East Graham Boulevard. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond urged both parties to collaborate and emphasized the city should follow its zoning codes while allowing the county some immunity. Voters approved the jail’s construction nearly three years ago, and discussions continue as the city remains silent on the ongoing litigation.
