EAC seeks to revive open‑space outreach; $15 million earmarked for purchases
Summary
Alan said the EAC sent letters seeking interest in selling two parcels (10‑acre Ferrello Grove and a 17‑acre Dogwood site) and proposed reissuing an earlier mailing campaign; Chair noted $15,000,000 is available for open‑space purchases but unspent.
The EAC discussed renewed outreach to landowners about conservation and potential township acquisition. Alan said the committee sent an open‑space letter for a 10‑acre property (Ferrello Grove) and will draft another for a 17‑acre Dogwood parcel near the golf course whose development approval expired; both letters were sent to property owners and the EAC will await responses.
Chair said the township has $15,000,000 earmarked for open space but the funds remain unspent; members agreed to consider repeating a 2011–12 mailing campaign to owners of priority properties and volunteered to help update the inventory and contact lists.
