DANNEMORA â The news that the Clinton Annex is one of three state correctional facilities set to close by the end of March was met with concern and frustration Monday. I think this decision is a slap in the face to the entire North Country, Town of Dannemora Supervisor Bill Chase told The Press-Republican.
CUOMO AUTHORITY
CNHI Albany correspondent Joe Mahoney broke the story Monday morning that the state has earmarked Clinton Annex, Gowanda Correctional Facility and Watertown Correctional Facility for closure.
A budget bill passed earlier this year gave Gov. Andrew Cuomo the authority to close an unspecified number of prisons with 90 days notice.
