Geary County Commissioners have received a recommendation to consider refinancing Public Building Commission bonds for the county jail.

Ben Bennett, Geary County Commission Chair, said they have begun to review this, to see if they can save money for the county. The total amount of outstanding bonds has been calculated at $3,495,000.

“He also asked if we’d like to look in the future at refinancing the general obligation bond for the hospital. Of course that’s a pretty large one, and there may be a chance starting with next year that we may be looking at that also.”

The Commission met this week with Kevin Cown of Gilmore and Bell.
