GABRIELS - The soon-to-be owner of Camp Gabriels reportedly wants to turn the now-shuttered minimum security prison into a private group camp and retreat center.
Adam Fine of New York City submitted the second-highest bid, $166,000, for the former prison when it was put up for auction by the state in October. It is located off state Route 86 in the hamlet of Gabriels, in the town of Brighton.
The highest bidder was Mohammad Ibrahim of Elmont, who offered $210,777 for the property, but he was unable to complete the transaction, according to Joe Brill, a spokesman for the state Office of General Services. The next highest bid, from Fine, was then accepted.
