Committee approves property withdrawal and exchange to resolve decades‑old encroachment
Following a landowner survey that identified two areas of long‑standing encroachment, the committee approved withdrawing and exchanging equal‑acreage parcels in the Town of Wascott and entering an additional County parcel to offset loss of public benefit; County Forest Law land entry applications will be submitted and the item forwarded to the County Board.
