Board plans site visit after mixed response to proposed Connell property gift
Summary
Board members were split on accepting a potential property gift from Dr. Connell; members agreed to hold the next meeting at Becker West and visit the nearby property to better assess maintenance needs and costs.
The Clayton County Conservation Board on May 5 revisited discussion about a possible gift of land from Dr. Connell.
Deputy Director Ean Popenhagen provided assessed values and CSR (Corn Suitability Rating) numbers for the parcels and said anticipated maintenance would be similar to the Becker properties — largely mowing a fire break. Board members expressed mixed views about accepting the parcels.
To gather more information, the board agreed to hold its next meeting at Becker West and then travel to inspect the nearby Dr. Connell property in person. No motion to accept or decline the gift was recorded at the meeting.
The site visit is intended to give members direct observation of maintenance needs and help resolve differing opinions before any formal acceptance vote.
