Bernalillo County is ready to raze the old Downtown jail.
The county commission on Tuesday night approved a $2.4 million contract with Guzman Construction Solutions to demolish the former lockup near Fourth Street and Roma NW. The county will use the property for a 149-space parking lot to accommodate county vehicles.
The teardown should begin in about a month and will involve a “controlled, non-explosive” process that will take about 10 months to complete, according to a county news release.
