Here is an update from the Peconic Land Trust regarding Deep Hole Creek Preservation Project:
September 3rd Update
Since July, our team at the Trust has been working with the Koehler family to work through a few aspects of our conditional offer. We are so happy to share with you that, as of Wednesday, we are in contract to purchase this parcel!
We are so grateful to the Koehler family for choosing to collaborate with us, the Town, and YOU, the community, to achieve a conservation outcome. This land will be conserved forever, because so many people cared and joined together in community-focused spirit.
We anticipate closing on this property in November. At that time, the Peconic Land Trust will become the owner of this parcel, and with the simultaneous sale of development rights to the Town, the land will be protected in perpetuity.
The Trust chose to come forward as the temporary owner of this property so that we would not lose the land to development. However, the Trust plans to be an interim owner only, with the goal of selling the protected property to a conservation buyer who will potentially cultivate the land.
Additional funds will be needed to get us to closing, and we will share this target with you in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your generosity and hard work to support this project; we couldn’t do it without you! Stay tuned!
