Town offers old jail as cushy office

Need a roomy, distinguished location to help expand your company? Look no further.

The Somerset County Jail in Skowhegan, ME is currently on sale for a paltry $200,000. After a new 200-bed lockup opens in nearby Madison, the town will have little use for the old, 14,000-square foot facility.

Don’t let the fact that it’s an old jail turn your business away, say local real estate agents and county commissioners. The property could be used for an art gallery, a restaurant, gift shop, or even a bus station.

If your Finance department’s into tight security, there’s nary a safer place to be — even if a criminal were to make off with sensitive records, they’d never be able to clear the razor-wire fencing. (Yes, it’s still up.)

Are your employees into benefits? The facility comes with an atmospheric exercise area. And instead of cubicles, people can stretch out in their very own “private offices.”
