Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-23 · agenda_item

Clay County is planning a remodel project for its Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF). The project involves renovating and converting space at the West Central Regional Juvenile Center to create this new facility. This effort aims to address a critical need for youth mental health services in the region. The county is seeking approval for a General Construction Fund Grant Contract to formally accept and use $1.2 million in state funding. This funding was authorized by the Minnesota legislature and is intended for eligible construction costs, including remodeling and necessary improvements. The project is currently under review, with the county board asked to approve the grant agreement. This work would likely involve site preparation, demolition, interior remodeling, structural improvements, and the installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as general contracting, construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and material supply could find opportunities by engaging with the county early in this process, before bids and permits are finalized.
