Appleton Property Acquisition
$150,000
Completed Project  |  2003
Project Description
The funds allowed the purchase of a 10-acre parcel of land known as Studley Neck Field and pasture, located on the Southerly side of Clapp Road, by the Town of Scituate for open space preservation in perpetuity.

The property owner agreed to sell this environmentally sensitive parcel for significantly less than appraised value, presenting an opportunity to add to the Town's inventory of Conservation-Restricted acreage.

This project fully meets the requirements of the Town’s CPC goals for open space by enhancing the quality and variety of passive and active recreational opportunities for Town residents, while protecting environmentally sensitive, historic and culturally significant properties.
