(KMZA)--The new Nemaha County Jail in Seneca is almost complete.
Sheriff Rich Vernon tells MSC News they are just a few weeks away from having the facility turned over to them.
Once that happens, Vernon says staff will be trained to use the new equipment before inmates are housed in the facility.
He says plans are to hold an open house so the public can view the new jail.
The County Commission on Monday took a tour of the jail to view the progress on the facility.
Groundbreaking for the construction of the new 34-bed, 15,000-square-foot jail, was held in November 2014.
The county is financing the nearly $4.6 million jail addition through existing capital outlay funds.
