As you’ve probably heard on NCPR and elsewhere, New York State is downsizing some of its prisons and other correctional facilities to save money. One part of this effort is to shed itself of farmland long tended by prisoners.
So the state is auctioning off a couple thousand acres, including 65 acres in Clinton County and 230 acres in Washington County. You can go check out the parcels next Wednesday or Thursday. Contact the department of corrections for more info. at (518) 457-7135 or (518) 457-4951.
