Funding arrangements are moving forward for the reconstruction of the Westville Correctional Facility. The new state budget includes an $800 million funding increase for correctional facilities, and Governor Eric Holcomb says the Westville prison is a priority.
"We need to have facilities that are modern and secure, in terms of our correctional facilities," Holcomb told reporters during a visit to Northwest Indiana on Monday.
The estimated cost of the project has continued to increase in recent years.
