Youth Detention Center to close

SECAUCUS – Hudson County will house its youth offenders in Union County as result of an agreement signed this week. This will result in the closing of the Youth Detention Center in Secaucus, and the reassignment of the 68 employees. The agreement would transport youth to a facility in Union County, and allow the county to use the facility for other uses. The change would occur in January, and would save the county about $5 million over two years.
