Members of the Kansas Senate Ways and Means Committee will hear testimony on a bill to authorize the transfer of Beloit Juvenile Correctional Facility to the City of Beloit. Several community representatives will travel to Topeka on January 27th to testify before the Senate Committee on behalf of our community to encourage the state to return the property to the community so it can be utilized for the greatest benefit of the community and not sit idle.
The property was originally given to the state by the community in the late 1890’s and operated over 120 years as a facility for juvenile girls.
Senator Janis Lee introduced senate Bill 357. A similar bill is also working its way through the House of Representatives and will be considered by the House Local Government Committee sometime soon.
