Ongoing Business:
- Review of Rocky Hollow Recreation Area and renewed recommendation from the 2013 and the 2003 PCRL to try to acquire by a long lease agreement from the State a 13.5 acre parcel of land adjacent to the Recreation area. Letters to be sent to the Selectmen and, if approved, to the State identifying our interest in this piece. It will not include the option of a land trade. The commission reviewed the parcel map and suggested we wait for a State response. Bill will forward the modified letter for Selectmen comments.
