CHINA Janet Preston of the China Board of Selectmen and resident Lindsey Harwath are hoping to drum up opposition to selling a town-owned, 39.3-acre parcel of land on Lakeview Drive.
Preston was one of the two dissenting selectmen in the 3-2 vote to sell the land at the Dec. 7 board meeting, along with Irene Belanger.
Instead of selling the land, Preston and Harwath, a Democrat who ran for House District 79 in last November’s election, are making an effort to inform the town about an idea to turn the land into a park with trails.
