The Saturday morning meeting saw turnout from dozens of community members.
Both county executive Ronayne and Mayor Burke spoke at the Garfield Heights Civic Center.
While the majority of the dozens of people spoke shared opposition to the plan to build a new jail in Garfield Heights — based on traffic, human rights, financial and safety concerns — local and regional officials voiced support. The plan for the 72-acre campus includes auxiliary services like vocational, mental health, family and reentry services, as well as a parking lot, sheriff’s offices and more. But some opposed to the jail have argued that problems like overpopulation andthat guards fear the quality could cause riots wouldn't be addressed despite the $750 million price tag.
Many residents specifically from Garfield Heights were concerned about property in the city. Some worried the campus would raise property taxes while others voiced concerns that, regardless of taxes, being in the vicinity of a jail would lower property values. While some meeting attendants shared fears that the presence of a jail would negatively affect public safety, Mayor Matt Burke pushed back, telling those assembled that the jail would make the city safer, which would incentivize companies to go to Garfield Heights. Although his comment was met with laughter, another resident later spoke in agreement, saying that the visible presence of law enforcement would deter crime.
