Buyers of former Augusta prison plan farms and solar

Original: Buyers of former Augusta prison eye farms, jobs, solar use | Exclusive

New owners of the former Augusta County prison property in Virginia are considering turning the site into farmland with a focus on job creation and solar energy use. The News Leader reports the plans exclusively. Repurposing the shuttered correctional facility would give the large tract of land an agricultural and renewable-energy role instead of remaining vacant.

Why now: The reuse of a large former prison site, including solar plans, is of local interest in Virginia.
