9/2/2025 town council meeting where the conservation commission proposes to purchase Murray’s Auto Recycling facility. The primary motivations for this acquisition are to mitigate environmental risks posed by the junkyard’s contamination of a critical water supply and wetlands, and to transform the site into a conservation and recreational area. Discussions also touch upon a councilor’s potential conflict of interest and explore the feasibility of securing grants and managing the property’s environmental liabilities. Ultimately, the council votes to further investigate the purchase, consulting with various stakeholders and state agencies to assess risks and benefits.
