Construction of Central Intake & Assessment Center (CIAC) Begins with Groundbreaking Ceremony
CIAC

Construction for the Central Intake and Assessment Center (CIAC) officially began on July 19th with several Commissioners attending the groundbreaking ceremony of this $228 million facility. Made possible without tax increases thanks to the Board’s fiscally conservative budget oversight, this project will serve as a national model that aims to reduce recidivism and assist those with mental health and substance abuse challenges.

Board Chair Don Brown credited the collaborative effort between the Board of Commissioners, County Executive Mark Hackel and County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham that made this project possible. The CIAC will replace the County’s outdated jail structure and will serve as a national model for public safety.
