RE: Beaver Brook/Broad Brook Conservation Area purchase CPA
DATE: May 28, 2010
On behalf of the Conservation Commission, I am pleased to submit this final report for CPA -
funded purchase of the Beaver Brook/Broad Brook Conservation Area on Haydenville Road.
We have closed on this property (1/27/2010, Book 10085, Page 232) and added it to the greater
Fitzgerald Lake /Beaver and Broad Brook Conservation Area. The property includes the
headwaters of the Broad Brook and a beautiful section of Beaver Brook.
The property funding was as follows:
CPA Grant to purchase 99 acres $190,000
CPA Conservation fund to purchase 3 acres added to additional purchase $ 10,176
And fund soft costs for the project.
This project leveraged $378,000 from non CPA funds (grants and donations).
The plan on the next page shows the Forest Stewardship Inventory the Conservation
Commission had prepared for the property.
Prior to our purchase of the land,
the seller demolished and
removed the two homes on the
property. At the request of the
Historical Commission, who
wanted to maintain` a memory of
the building, we left the
foundation of the primary house
in place.
