LETTER | Prison plans ruining Lincoln County residents' American dream

I’m reaching out to share some of the deep concerns my neighbors and I are facing in Lincoln County, particularly with the impending construction of the new state penitentiary at 278th Street, formerly known to me as the “Haug Place.” This development is set to bring significant changes to our rural community, and I believe it’s crucial that we fully understand the potential impact it will have on our financial stability, safety, and way of life, especially for those of us tied to agriculture.
