The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision announce yesterday that Great Meadow Correctional Facility will be closing for good on November 6, 2024. Great Meadow Correctional Facility has been the backbone of the community in Fort Ann, NY and Comstock, New York for generations and it's closure is going to send some waves through the North Country's economy,  I can't imagine the pain and heartache for the families in the region that will be losing their jobs as a result. In many cases they can't be replaced. The prison is located in Comstock, NY at the intersection of Route 4 and 22. Great Meadow is a maximum security prison, and across the street from Great Meadow is Washington Correctional Facility which at this time will remain operating til further notice.
