New Lancaster County Correctional Facility design and cost

No cost at this stage; these services help define insurance and construction costs in upcoming bids.

Senior services funding

Up to $55,000 for senior games and a 3% meal rate increase, both state-grant funded.

Adult probation safety and security upgrades via JRI 2 grant

Grant grows from $35,000 to $95,000 — 100% state funding, no county budget resolution needed.
