Elected officials in Harrietstown, North Elba and St. Armand are urging the state to keep Adirondack Correctional Facility off the chopping block as the governor aims to close five more state prisons this year. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, local officials have heard no indication from the state that Adirondack Correctional Facility could be shut down. But with five prison closures proposed as part of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s executive budget proposal, and with the state Legislature continuing to piece together its budget, local officials have sent Hochul a precautionary letter underscoring the importance of keeping Adirondack Correctional open.
