COURTLAND—Southampton County for this year’s budget stands to lose $47,000 it has received annually since 2001 for having a state prison here. State Delegate Roslyn C. Tyler, D-Jarratt, has introduced legislation to restore the funding. The county receives about $50,000 a year from the state to offset the county’s inability to collect property taxes on state-owned land within its boundaries. The largest portion is a $47,000, in-lieu of tax payment for Deerfield Correctional Center, a state prison for men and women in Capron. Another $3,000 is paid for the county’s state-owned boat launches, Virginia State Police headquarters in Courtland, a farmers’ market in Courtland and the state Department of Agriculture’s research lab in Ivor.
