The original funding request that the Department of Corrections requested to build that facility was $93 million, $83 million. They denied that request because of the cost of inflation and the cost of labor and supplies and materials. The eventual funding cost to taxpayers that was approved is 130, $30.7 million.

The Northern Wisconsin type facility that's going to be operated by the DOC is still in the planning and design stage. (13:32–13:42)
