Open Space Plan 2010
DiNapoli Report for Open Space Committee Members (Appointed to a Three-Year Term) Libby Weberg, Chairman Larry Brickman Jon Sundquist Noelle A. Ronan Additional participants always welcome.
All meetings of the Open Space Committee are open to the public. The committee usually meets the fourth Tuesday of the month, from 7 to 9 p.m., at Town Hall. Please contact the Town Clerk's Office (652-3280) or Town Supervisor's Office (652-7590) if you plan to attend, as the meeting dates are subject to change. Progress An Open Space Survey was completed between March and September of 2007. Some 326 surveys were completed and indicated that 86% of respondants favored protecting open space. Residents gave high priority to forests, woodlands and wildlife habitat, followed by stream corridors, wetlands, scenic views, and farmland. Using a 10-category ranking system, the committee identified parcels of open space land in the town with high natural resource value with priority for protection. Meetings with land owners have been held to answer questions about conservation easements and potential tax benefits for conservation easement donations. The Open Space Committee is working to update the existing Open Space Plan. New links will be posted soon.
