ARLINGTON â The Arlington Select Board has shelved a proposal to buy 400 acres on Red Mountain west of town for a town forest, saying that the project posed too many difficulties.
The board voted 4-1 against pursuing the purchase during its regular meeting Monday, ending a fundraising effort and shutting down plans for hiking trails and scenic vistas on the property.
Only Select Board member Todd Wilkins voted against the motion, saying that he was a proponent of the plan and would always support efforts to bolster recreation in the town.
The other four board members, including board chair Dan Harvey, Tim Williams, Matt Bykowski and Cynthia Browning, said the opportunity had been pursued long enough and the obstacles were too great to overcome.
