The Rural Land Foundation has scheduled a number of public forums (in person and via Zoom) and site walks to acquaint residents with the proposal to purchase and rezone land to allow 20 construction of 20 single-family houses plus new town-owned conservation land. 

To go forward, the project — the result of a multi-year collaboration between RLF, Farrington Memorial Nature Linc, and the Panetta family — must win a two-thirds majority on a rezoning vote at a Special Town Meeting on June 25, as well as approval to allocate $950,000 from the town’s Community Preservation Act fund.
 
RLF Executive Director Geoff McGean and Wendy Matusovich of Farrington Nature Linc will present at these events so the community can learn more about the project and ask questions.
