A ground breaking was held Monday morning in Davenport for the project now known as the Scott County Youth Justice and Rehabilitation Center.
The current center in downtown Davenport is more than 50 years old and licensed for 18 beds. The new center will be licensed for 40, and located on North Tremont Street where the sheriff's department patrol center was once located.
Bruce Builders of Eldridge was the winning bidder for the project that'll cost about 24 million dollars, and should be completed in 2024.
