Wicked Local KINGSTON – The town is a step closer to exercising its right of first refusal for pristine bog property taken out of production. The Community Preservation Committee unanimously supports hiring an appraiser for acquisition of woodland and former bog land on Winthrop Street, as supporters of the project seek additional funding to cover the $800,000 a developer plans to pay. Its work isn’t done yet. The CPC will seek the assistance of the town administrator to help with the appraisal process. Town counsel will also work with the appraiser to make sure all requirements are covered. New Conservation Agent Matt Penella has offered to assist in the appraisal process.
