Dairy farm's future
November 25, 2007
Selectmen will hold a hearing at 6:30 tomorrow night to discuss the future of Griffin's Dairy, a 62-acre parcel off Plymouth Street purchased by the town for $750,000 in 1998. The board will hear proposals from three committees, including the Griffin's Dairy Committee, which favors using the land for walking paths and recreation; the Save Griffin's Farm Committee, which wants the land left as open space; and the Abington Middle School site selection committee, which hopes to secure 7 acres for the construction of a new school. The meeting will be held at the Paul K. Smith Music Room at Abington High School. - Robert Carroll
I find it interesting that to have a NEW middle school it has gone from "WE NEED 25 ACRES" down to all we really need is 7 acres.
So why not use the land that is ALREADY under the School Departments control???
WHY? If the Abington School Department ALREADY has 14 acres of land in their control, in which 7 can easily be built upon, why destroy Griffin's Dairy?
They have controlled this land for over 25 years!
I won't tell you what member of the Abington Conservation Commission has ownership interest in land on Brockton Avenue within this area.
