Summary

Spark members were informed that the town council passed an ordinance authorizing pursuit of acquisition of just over four acres northwest of Main Street and Norwood Avenue; commission members noted the purchase may include contingencies and environmental study requirements.

At the meeting a commissioner relayed that the Sykesville Town Council passed an ordinance authorizing the acquisition of certain real property located northwest of Main Street and Norwood Avenue, covering a little more than four acres.

Commissioners said the town's action was an authorization to proceed and that the purchase was likely contingent on environmental studies and other standard due diligence steps. No sale price, seller identity or final closing date was provided in the Spark meeting discussion. A speaker said the council action is in an early stage and that details will be determined as environmental and contract contingencies are satisfied.

Spark members did not take a formal position or vote on the matter at their meeting; they noted the acquisition because it may have downstream implications for parks, open space planning and programming in the town.
