by April Ehrenberg
TThe City of Appleton and CoreCivic are continuing work on a proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would provide the city with payments for public services associated with the Appleton Detention Center. City Administrator John Olinger said the city is grateful that CoreCivic offered the agreement and views it as an opportunity for the company to become a partner in the community. “We’re very grateful that CoreCivic has offered us this MOU,” Olinger said. “They want to be a community partner and they are willing to step in. The offer is above expectations.” The proposed MOU would provide Appleton with $1.5 million in a single payment during September 2026. Beginning in January 2027, CoreCivic would pay the city $105,000 per month, or $1.26 million annually, for police, fire, public works and related services supporting the facility.   Read More >
