Council adopts restricted covenants for Greens Hill under Heritage Conservation Trust grant
Summary
Jonesborough approved restricted covenants required by the Heritage Conservation Trust for Greens Hill, preserving the property for green space, public recreation, and habitat protection.
Council reviewed and adopted the restricted covenants required by the Heritage Conservation Trust after the town received a grant to purchase Greens Hill. The chair read the covenant language that prohibits uses incompatible with preservation of open space, natural areas, wildlife habitat, public recreation, and indigenous flora and fauna.
Council moved to approve adoption of the covenants and then voted in favor. Town leaders said the covenants ensure long-term preservation of the property consistent with the funding source and the town's stated objectives for the site.
