Norwood Road Conservation Purchase

Conservation Commission chair explained the late Ed Sufferin wanted the land conserved, and his sister who inherited it can't afford to donate it.

Developer and commission member argued the steep, septic-and-well lots aren't good housing candidates and the price is below market — good value for conservation.

Developer and commission member noted only ~14% of the fund after interest math, and warned development would send runoff, salt, and fertilizer into Arlington Pond.
