Golden LEAF funds will thereby enable the County to locate a 1,000-cell close security prison that will be operated by the North Carolina Department of Corrections. The project will bring over 400 jobs to Greene County and the surrounding area. Future expansion plans include a regional medical/mental health facility and could result in an additional 100 to 200 jobs.
