From the minutes
“Mr. Flynn moved the Board of Selectmen approved the 2020 "Extra" STM Art. 1 - Conservation Land Purchase - Temple Street - Harrington Property. Second by Mr. Madigan Mr. Madigan said that there are three options for consideration: 1. Is to contest the purchase of the property as a bona fide Purchase and Sale Agreement was not submitted. This could take forever and would have high legal costs. 2. The Town could buy the approx. 10.61 +/-acres of agricultural land for $2.25 million. 3. The Town could take the entire 17+/- acres by eminent domain and pay $2.25 million (i.e., the current P+S Agreement price). Mr. Madigan indicated that the third option is what is being proposed, but it would require an authorization by the voters. So an "extra" Special Town Meeting has been schedule for Monday, March 16, 2020 at 7:05 PM. The warrant for this STM contains just one article specifically related to the taking of 761 Temple ST (the Harrington Property), which will require approval from the Duxbury voters.
