These two grants would help to pay for the acquisition of an additional ±100 acres of conservation land abutting existing town-owned conservation land in the western portion of town, including transaction costs (appraisal, survey and legal fees).
Neither grant would pay for more than 50% of the anticipated $420,000 acquisition cost, but collectively could cover most of the costs. Acquisition of these properties would secure vehicular access to existing town land and preserve an existing east-west snowmobile trail link that would otherwise be severed.
