Jim Planck is reporting for The Daily Mail the land transfer for the new Greene County jail has been approved. County administrator Shaun Groden announced at a special meeting of the county Legislature Wed., Oct. 7, that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo had signed the legislation to authorize the transfer of approximately 50 acres of state land in Coxsackie to the county. The transaction was previously approved by the state Senate and Assembly, and must now make its way through the Office of General Services before Greene County takes title to the parcel. The property adjoins the southern side of the medium-security Greene Correctional Facility and borders on Route 9W. If the county does not build the jail, the land will revert back to the state. The county has retained Delaware Engineering to manage the jail project. And Delaware has retained the Capital District cultural resource consulting firm, Hartgen Archaeological Associates, of Rensselaer, to conduct an archaeological survey, the next step in the process.
