The council received a communication on Sept. 1 regarding the City’s right to buy portions of the Taylor Farm under prior development-rights agreements. The mayor noted the city acquired development rights in 2008 and that Donald A. Taylor Jr. notified the city on June 25, 2026 of an intent to sell several parcels.
The mayor recommended acquiring parcels at 49–55 Great Plain Road but not 78 Great Plain Road, and noted the city’s purchase option expires Nov. 15. Council moved to refer the matter to an ad hoc committee (members named during the motion) to review and report back. The motion to send the matter to ad hoc passed.
Council did not vote on a purchase at the meeting; the referral indicates the council intends further deliberation and review by the ad hoc group before any acquisition decision.
