It’s been decades in the making, but the Herkimer County Jail is getting close to opening. Herkimer County Sheriff Scott Scherer talked about how the old jail is outdated and has gone through a number of issues. We went through water main break issues, generator issues, boiler issues, heat exchange issues, the footprint of the facility, windows, mold, just ….there’s a lot of issues with our old facility.
