Commission discusses VFW property plans; soil work, Open Space Trust Fund options noted
Summary
The commission discussed the VFW property as a potential community garden site but heard gardeners were not interested in expanding; the town would need to remediate soil and then could consider applying for Open Space Trust Funds, and the EC plans to send a letter to the Board of Commissioners.
Commissioners discussed the potential future use of the VFW property during the March 3 meeting. Commissioner William Gerken said the original plan had been to move the community garden to the VFW site, but Commissioner Mirza reported that the existing gardeners "were not interested in that." Gerken said the dirt at the site needs remediation before any change of use and that, once final plans are made, the village could pursue Open Space Trust Funds for the property.
The Environmental Commission agreed to prepare and send a letter to the Board of Commissioners with its thoughts on the property's future use; no final decision was recorded at the meeting.
