Brazos County commissioners are told that $34 million dollars need to be spent on deferred maintenance of four county buildings during the next ten years.
County documents show deferred maintenance estimates are just over $18 million at the Brazos County jail, more than $9 million at the Brazos Center, $4.7 million at the courthouse, and $1.7 million at the sheriff’s office.
The total amount is divided as almost $19 million in the next two years for life safety and code critical reasons, another $13 million in the next two to five years to replace systems such as heating and air conditioning, and almost $2 million in the next five to ten years for what is described as “future considerations”.
