Town Board OKs letters of support for CrannMor Forrest Farm USDA easement
Summary
The Town of Seward authorized Supervisor Mark Fletcher to sign revised letters of support for CrannMor Forrest Farm's USDA conservation-easement applications for parcels on Hill Road and Gardnersville Road; the board approved the action unanimously.
The Town of Seward Town Board voted May 11 to authorize Supervisor Mark Fletcher to sign revised letters of support for CrannMor Forrest Farm's USDA conservation-easement applications. Justin Williams and Adam, the farm owner, told the board that part of the Hill Road parcel already has an easement and they are seeking to place the remainder of that property, and a separate parcel on Gardnersville Road, under easement protection.
Councilwoman MaryAnn Nelson moved to authorize the signatures, and the motion passed by voice vote, 5 yes, 0 no. The board's action is limited to providing letters of support; any final easement decisions remain with the USDA and the landowners. The meeting record notes the request and the board's approval but does not list specific acreage or financing terms for the easement applications.
