Opposition to Mt McGregor prison expansion grows at Wilton meeting
About 100 residents gather at Ballad Road School to blast the environmental impact study for expanding Mt McGregor Correctional Facility from 150 to 250 inmates. Critics call the study too detailed and fear harm to tourism, real estate values, and local historic sites near Mark Twain cottage. A second public hearing is set for July 26 to add citizen remarks to the final draft for court submission.
