Campton conservation commission offered Murphy parcel after Forest Society declines; board signals consensus to accept
Summary
Jess Halm told the board the Forest Society declined a bequeathed parcel and offered it to the Campton Conservation Commission; the board expressed consensus to move forward with accepting the Murphy Land.
Jess Halm, chair of the Campton Conservation Commission, reported at the Aug. 11 meeting that land known as the Murphy parcel had been left to the Forest Society. According to Halm, the Forest Society declined the bequest and offered the parcel to the Campton Conservation Commission.
The Conservation Commission presented the offer and the board indicated it was the consensus to proceed with accepting the land. The minutes record that the board agreed to move forward; there is no formal recorded roll-call vote in the minutes on acceptance, and the minutes do not list any conditions, purchase price, easements or timelines associated with the offer.
The Board’s expression of consensus indicates municipal support to advance acceptance, but next steps—such as legal transfer, due diligence, surveying, or conditions of acceptance—are not specified in the meeting minutes and will require follow-up by town staff and the Conservation Commission.
