TYLER — Smith County Commissioners are again looking to expand the Smith County Jail. The expansion plan carries a $33 million price tag and would increase the county’s inmate occupancy level from 755 to more than 1,100. According to officials, the goal is to reduce numbers at the jail. Officials are hosting a town-hall style meeting February 10th at the Smith County Courthouse.
