An update on the progress of the borough-based jails program, which is the Department of Design and Construction's largest alternative delivery program, is provided.
- A notice to proceed will be issued this spring for the design-build team creating the new Manhattan facility, the last of the four new jails to enter this phase.
- Four new, more humane and secure facilities will soon be in active construction.
- The program benefits significantly from the design-build approach, allowing for early site preparation and foundation work.
