By Jamie Cushman STAFF WRITER [email protected] CLOVIS — The Curry County Adult Detention Center project will move forward after a contract with HB Construction Inc. was unanimously approved at Tuesday’s Curry County Commission meeting. The project, which includes the construc- tion of a new sally port, medical unit and additional housing, will cost about $11.6 million, down from the original bid of $12.2 million after the commission approved 13 cost-saving measures at its April 3 meeting. Curry County Manager Lance Pyle said construction on the project will begin next month. Officials have said they expect the Staff photo: Jamie Cushman construction to last about 17 months.
