Cuyahoga Countys billion-dollar jail project in Garfield Heights faces a major setback as Sheriff Harold Pretel disputes moving his downtown Cleveland office. Ohio law may require his formal approval, which hasnt been given. The projects design work is at risk, with key borrowing and construction pricing decisions stalled. Tensions escalate as Prosecutor Michael OMalley issues a cease-and-desist letter, and votes on additional borrowing and the jails guaranteed maximum price are delayed. The sheriffs lawsuit against County Executive Chris Ronayne over jail staff and finances further complicates matters. The projects future hangs in the balance as leaders grapple with these challenges.
