    That’s encouraging news. Perhaps some of these enlightened business folk would be willing to contribute funds to help the Town pay the cost of purchasing the AL property. That might ease the pressure some Council members feel to sell part of the site or to build housing on part of it.

    If council walked away from the chance of $250K in free grant money, my sense is that council members who want to sell off part of the land are motivated by something other than recouping part of the purchase price.

    Yes, the motivation may not be entirely fiscal. So securing outside contributions might not alter certain CMs’ enthusiasm for selling off part of the land, but it would weaken the persuasiveness of their argument for doing so.

    When I see the swathes of trees cut and feel the heat of concrete in their place, I value green space.

    Why do town council members want to sell off the American Legion property? What is motivating that?
