Land for Saco's Future

---

MEMBERS (2008) Leslie Smith, Jr.

Land for Saco's Future is a Committee created by Council policy out of a voter approved $1.5 million bond issue to acquire open space and park land for the City, to recommend land purchases, to preserve community character and to provide recreational opportunities to residents. In addition to purchasing land outright, the program considers gifts, partial gifts, purchase of easements or development rights, partial gifts and partial sales, and other proven methods of preserving land. The Committee has 5 members, one of which is a Councilor.

The Committee meets at City Hall on an "as needed" basis.
