It is my hope that the 17.5-acre plot of land is donated to the township to preserve as open space.
What are the options should the Authority actually “abandon” its plans as suggest by the Newton BOS? One option that I mentioned at the BOS meeting was for the Authority to sell or donate the land to the township so it can be preserved for open space.
“Maybe the township could purchase that track of land and then designate it as open space so nothing could ever be built there,” I said to applause.
Several residents thought the Authority should refund its recent 47% rate hike to which I replied “its seems to me this is like saying that egg prices will come down after this summer and I don't think they ever will come down.” Since the taxpayers already paid for the land, I think the Sewer Authority should donate it to the township. I cited the example of Silver Lake Park, which was donated by Bucks County to the township for $1 under the condition that it never be developed.
