The chosen location for a new behavioral health center, which is set to eventually include an Oklahoma County Detention Center, is facing significant concerns regarding its soil conditions. Reports indicate that the site has been identified as having soggy soil, raising questions about the feasibility and safety of construction.
Local officials and community members are voicing their apprehensions, emphasizing the potential implications for the structural integrity of the facility.

Experts are being consulted to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. As discussions continue, stakeholders are hopeful for a resolution that will allow the project to move forward while ensuring the safety and efficacy of the new center. The community awaits further updates on how these soil concerns will be addressed in the planning and construction phases.
