MILE SCITY – Custer County Commissioner Jeff Faycosh confirmed on Monday the county is interested in bringing the proposed state forensic mental health facility to the area.<\/p>\n

Faycosh said the facility could be built on 500 acres of state land behind the Pine Hills Correctional Facility.<\/p>\n

He said the area already has water and sewer infrastructure, is located right off the highway, and the community already has trained correctional staff.<\/p>\n

The county webpage features a survey asking if the community would support a 32-bed forensic mental health facility near Miles City. <\/p>\n

Faycosh said the results of the survey show an overwhelming 80% support for the project.<\/p>\n
