Neil Zolot / medford@wickedlocal.com Ever heard of Thomas Brooks Farm? Few Medford residents have. But that s about to change. The Medford City Council tentatively approved appropriations for the Community Preservation Commission to implement early phases of a Master Plan for Thomas Brooks Farm at a Jan. 26 meeting. A formal vote will take place Feb. 2 because the item was not on the official agenda for Jan. 26. The matter was discussed during a Committee of the Whole meeting and spilled into the formal council meeting at 7 p.m. Members are amenable to the request for $200,000 restoration of a 1,000 foot Field Stone Wall; $50,000 for restoration of the red-brick Pomp’s Wall or the Old Slave Wall and $50,000 for an archeological dig on the site, which the Historical Commission’s Project Overview describes as a “six acre wooded landscape bordered by the Lowell Branch of the MBTA Commuter Rail tracks. It is currently a passive recreation area and a rich history that is greatly obscured. This project seeks to bring that history to light and implement select improvements over multiple years.”
