LAND O' LAKES - Work on the $17.8 million addition to the Land O' Lakes Jail on Central Boulevard is moving along well now that the walls are going up.
The three-story addition will replace two tentlike structures that have been used as overflow housing for inmates.
Groundbreaking on the expansion was in May and the project is expected to be completed by the summer, boosting the county's jail capacity from 1,007 beds to 1,775.
Peter R. Brown Construction Co., which has built jails or jail additions in Indian River and Hillsborough counties, is overseeing the project.
