The City of Lincoln is in a waiting pattern in hopes efforts to keep open a major employer in the community will stay.

State Sen. Sally Turner says the public participation process has played itself out as local residents wait to hear if the Logan Correction Center will close to be relocated or renovated and remain open. Now the State is paying for an assessment to be done on the facility. 

For the Lincoln Republican, this has the feel like the Department of Corrections knows what they want to do but hope the decision will be made for them.

Sen. Turner continues to encourage the workers at Logan Correction Center and those in the community to remain in touch with lawmakers across the state to express how much the facility means to those employed there and to the community.
