The LEC construction now begins in earnest. The construction is expected to be about 18 months. The LEC, located off Rabbit Trail Road near Edgefield, will likely cost approximately $42 million to build and outfit. The state is contributing $18 million to the project from the plutonium settlement money, which was added at the request of the Edgefield County Legislative Delegation. The rest of the funding will come from the Capital Project Sales Tax the county's voters approved two years ago. The LEC will have a detention center, along with offices, storage and other areas for all Sheriff's Department employees, Magistrate and staff, and a Magistrate's courtroom. An animal control facility will also be co-located on the property. Construction of that facility is expected to start next month and is expected to be completed by late summer. The current Edgefield County detention center and Sheriff's Office was built in the early 1980s. The Magistrate's Office has also outgrown its facility and has never had a courtroom. Court has been held in the Magistrate's office or in County Council Chambers. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ **As of October 18, 2022, the owner rejected all bids.
