Fayette County officials held a flag raising ceremony at the new county jail on Friday, using the same flagpole that stood on the site during its decades as the U.S. Army Reserve Center.

The flagpole was removed shortly after ground was broken for the new jail in March 2021. It was fully restored and reinstalled prior to the new facilityÎÞëÊÓƵ™s opening earlier this year. The American and Pennsylvania flags raised are new, as the old ones were retired.

FridayÎÞëÊÓƵ™s ceremony also included the dedication of a plaque marking the jailÎÞëÊÓƵ™s time capsule, which includes items from the former jailÎÞëÊÓƵ™s history and the story of the new jail. The time capsule is set to be opened on Feb. 21, 2074 ÎÞëÊÓƵ“ the 50th anniversary of the jailÎÞëÊÓƵ™s opening day.
