Middletown board tables consideration of 1‑acre lot adjacent to Heritage Trail
Summary
The Board of Estimate opened discussion Jan. 29 on purchasing about 1 acre on Ingresia Road contiguous to the Heritage Trail but tabled the item pending an appraisal and a report on contiguity and floodability; Rodriguez was named liaison to the trail committee.
The Middletown Board of Estimate discussed a proposed purchase of a roughly 1‑acre parcel on Ingresia Road on Jan. 29 and agreed to table the matter while staff prepares additional information.
The parcel, whose owners are identified in the meeting as the Maxwells, sits next to the Heritage Trail and was described as likely wet and not buildable. Board members debated whether to accept the owner’s asking price, rely on county assessed fair‑market value or order a paid appraisal; members agreed to have staff verify contiguity to the trail and prepare a report. The chair designated Rodriguez as the city’s liaison with the trail committee to follow up on trail plans and property needs.
A motion to table the purchase and request a report was made by Rodriguez and seconded by Massey; the board left the item on the agenda for a future meeting for further review.
