ADEL, Iowa (AP) – A compromise proposal to build an $11.8 million administration building near downtown Adel and a $16.3 million jail complex on the eastern edge of the city will be decided by voters on Tuesday. The Des Moines Register reports that under the proposal, the administration building would be constructed on a roughly four-acre stretch of land just west of the Raccoon River. The county would have to tear down residential buildings and two businesses.

Officials held four public meetings in October on the new proposal, and have assured the public that the popular Raccoon River Valley Trail near proposed construction would not be affected. In August 2013, voters in Clive, Waukee and West Des Moines largely supported the bond proposal, but fierce opposition in Adel saw the measure defeated.
