Western Maryland considers new federal prison in Allegany or Garrett
The Cumberland Times-News reports local officials on the Western Maryland Economic Development Task Force likely will urge building a new federal prison in Allegany or Garrett counties. The existing facility near Cumberland supports jobs and a regional economy, with a 1999 budget of 21 million for salaries, goods, and services, while a new prison could boost housing demand and employment but faces security and site-approval questions amid a broader push for more federal prisons.
