“I was surprised to learn there are just a few issues on the property, which can be addressed through the design of what ultimately is placed there or in the case of the lagoons, through monitoring and creating a way for the water to move,” said Mayor Gee Williams. “It seems one of our biggest hurdles to purchasing the property has been cleared,” he added.
The Town is continuing its due diligence on the property. “The Council voted last night to Contract with EDSA, INC. to complete a feasibility analysis of the potential uses identified through the Strategic Planning process we completed this spring,” stated Town Administrator Laura Allen. “We expect to have that report in about five weeks,” she added.

So they're going to take a fair-sized piece of property OFF the tax rolls and turn it in to a park......reduce your income and increase your expenses with a single transaction.
Have you considered where the revenue stream to replace the taxes will come from?
Have you considered where the revenue stream to build and maintain the park will come from?
Who stands to make a bunch of money on this transaction?
Keep it in the private sector! Berlin, you already have adequate park facilities and multiple school grounds, etc.
