Houghton Derserves better than this
Houghton County voters said no to a much smaller jail project on this site in 2000. It is hard to believe that the Commissioners didn't get the message then! Now we have what appears to be the makings of a much bigger regional jail (with plans for expansion) in the heart of the city. They have given it a new nice sounding name - the Justice Center, but don't let the name fool you.

Check out the incredible view from this former High school site. Such a beautifully situated site deserves a positive, good energy purpose to be enjoyed by all ages for decades to come. The suggested idea of an Alumni Park is a great tribute to all of the good memories of the former Houghton High. Let us not let go of our History here!
