Blair County Commissioners have named an architectural firm for a new prison. Yesterday, the commissioners agreed to sign an agreement with TransSystems, the same company that put together a feasibility study recommending a new prison be built on land behind Alto-Reste Cemetery in Altoona. Last week the commissioners decided to forego that site in light of public outcry. Since then, no other site for the 100-million dollar prison been identified. TransSystems has numerous offices throughout the state.
