Two bills have been introduced in Topeka requesting the state return the Beloit Juvenile Correctional Facility property to the City of Beloit. Last week Senator Janis Lee introduced Senate Bill 357 and Representative Clay Aurand introduced House Bill 2450.
The Senate Bill has been assigned to the Ways and Means Committee for their consideration. The House Bill has been assigned to the Local Government Committee.
Both bills ask that the Secretary of Administration be given the authority to convey the Correctional Facility property to the City of Beloit.
The property was given to the state over 120 years ago. Community leaders are asking the property be returned so that it can be put to use once again for the benefit of the community.

Getting the state to return the property to the City of Beloit will open the door for us to utilize the property in ways that will benefit the entire community.
