Maybe Foxman of Tupper fame would like to bid on it.
Oh! He would probably like for some of the inmates to remain so they could cut grass and shovel snow for free.
Maybe they can start auctioning off some more State land soon. That’s one way to pay down the State deficit and put the property back on the tax rolls at the same time.
950K is pretty cheap, no?
