Board Approves Open Space Fund Purchase of Two Small Properties

Upper Mount Bethel Township Board of Supervisors · March 10, 2025

Summary

Supervisors approved Open Space acquisition of two properties (one on Nordstrom Lane, one on Shady Lane) using Open Space funds without matching grants after Heritage Conservancy advised grants were unlikely for these parcels.

The Board approved a motion to have the Open Space board acquire two properties, described by Supervisor Albert as located on Nordstrom Lane and Shady Lane, using Open Space funds and with no required matching funds.

Matt Babbitt of the Heritage Conservancy, joining by phone, told the Board that the parcels are not strong candidates for the typical grant programs available, and the Open Space Board therefore recommended paying the maximum allowable from Open Space funds. Supervisor Friedman moved to approve the purchases at the recommended maximum and the motion passed 5-0.
