Minnehaha County Juvenile Justice Center
A new regional Juvenile Justice Center. The facility will be expanded from 46 beds at the current facility to 64 and could meet demands over the next 20 years. The first phase of the project will include new housing, intake, medical, kitchen and mechanical areas. A pod-type arrangement for juvenile beds is expected to help improve safety for the young people and the staff. The old building will be torn down and the second phase would start in August of 2025 and would involve the courtroom and probation part of the project. This will free up more space in the current county courthouse in downtown Sioux Falls.
