(WLFI) — The Jasper County Jail has gone solar as part of a $2 million project to remedy the facility's history of heating and cooling problems. "This building was built in 2008, it has a history of HVAC problems, and so we were looking for alternatives," says County Commissioner Kendell Culp. "We were having $20-25,000-a-month winter-time electric bills for this facility, which just was not sustainable."
