Town Drops Purchase Right To Highway Industrial Acres
The town council voted to drop its purchase right to 70 acres of highway frontage after the Delrex interests sale, with Metro Halt on Development Co. assumption of the purchase option. Town solicitor Fred Helson said the right was limited and not advantageous, as the town could only buy if the firm first chose to sell and at a ceiling of 5000 dollars per acre, a condition disputed by several officials. Deputy Keeve Young and Dr. Ballentine questioned the town’s ability to exercise the option, while the by-law to release the town’s interest passed on second reading despite objections. Final action delayed, Reeve Hunter absent.
