Selectboard hears potential donation of conserved Howe property and appoints two members to Conservation Commission
Summary
The board heard that the conserved 36-acre Howe property may be donated to the town and appointed Todd Cross and Olivia Tregubov to fill Conservation Commission terms expiring in 2026; the appointments passed unanimously.
During New Business on June 16, Rob Anderegg of the Conservation Commission told the Selectboard that the Howe property — a 36-acre parcel at the intersection of Mace Hill Road and Cobb Hill Road, conserved in 2018 — may be donated to the town by the owning family.
Board members asked questions about the ownership and the family’s intent; no commitment or formal acceptance of a donation was made during the meeting, and no terms were discussed on the record. Anderegg also provided general information about the conserved status of the parcel and outlined that the family was considering options.
Separately, the board considered two applications to fill Conservation Commission terms that expire in 2026. Jim Rielly moved to appoint Todd Cross and Olivia Tregubov to the remainder of the terms; Trace Tancreti seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously to approve the appointments.
Next steps on the Howe property will depend on further information from the landowner and any formal proposal; the conservation appointments are in effect for the remainder of the existing open terms.
