Josephine County Juvenile Criminals May Move To Jackson County

Officials in Josephine County hope to make a deal with Jackson County's Juvenile Justice Center to house juvenile criminals.

The county wants to strike a one year contract with the center after the failure of the proposed public safety levy back in May.

Officials in Jackson County will vote on the proposal Thursday morning at the Jackson County Courthouse at 9:30.

If passed, the agreement could bring two additional employees to the justice center and nearly $150,000 to Jackson County.
