Morning read: No takers for Saranac Lake prison

Camp Gabriels, which sits just north of Saranac Lake, was placed on the auction block earlier this year by the state of New York.  The former correctional facility was offered for a minimum bid of $950,000.

But several news outlets, including WNBZ and the Plattsburgh Press-Republican are reporting this morning that there were no bids.

The Town of Brighton Redevelopment Citizens Committee has actively tried to market the property for redevelopment and met with a similar response. No one attended recent open house tours of the facility.

The 92-acre facility was closed by the state Department of Correctional Services last year.
