(Walsh County, ND) — Walsh County officials don’t know how to proceed with the jail renovation project. The county held a special election for voters to approve increases in sales and property taxes. The sales tax proposal was approved, but voters rejected the property tax hike. Both measures had to pass for the project to move forward, but officials are still considering using the projected 11-million-dollars in sales tax for the renovations. County commissioners said they will discuss the next step, but didn’t provide other details.
