Evers announces Milwaukee site for new youth prison

August 9, 2022 By Bob Hague

Governor Tony Evers has announced a site for a new state youth prison. Calling it a major step toward closing Lincoln Hills School for Boys and Copper Lake School for Girls, Evers on Tuesday announced plans to build a new youth prison on Milwaukee’s northwest side. In a statement, Evers said it’s one major step closer to getting kids out of the facilities, which were initially to have closed last July. The Milwaukee Common Council is expected to vote on the proposed site on Friday. Building on the site would require city approval, under a state law that approved 42 million dollars for the new facility.-

Even with Common Council support of the selected site, many steps remain before construction can start, including public hearings, local plan and rezoning approval and notification to the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Finance.
