Jamaica Land Swap Rift Over Greenway Property
Jamaica selectmen chairman Nathan Dauchy opposes state ownership of the Greenway land in Jamaica, where about 630 acres may transfer to state hands to expand public recreation near Jamaica State Park. The Conservation Society of Southern Vermont supports the plan but would favor transfer to federal or state parks. A bill in the General Assembly could compensate towns for tax losses, about $200,000 yearly, and share park receipts with communities like Jamaica.
