New Pickens County jail to be located on Catherine Street

Groundbreaking ceremony for the new Pickens County jail will take place at 2 o’clock Friday, February 24 on Catherine Street behind the County Administration buildings in Pickens.  Pickens County signed a contract with Mosley Architect to design and build the new facility.  The new jail will replace the existing jail, built in the 1970s. Property for the project was recently purchased.
