I was happy to see that the open space referendum passed overwhelmingly this past April. Does anyone know of an update on it? The last thing I heard was the announcement of the referendum at:

http://www.charlestown.org/ct-org/ct-gov/ct-os/2008OpenSpaceNewsletter.pdf

Now that the referendum has been passed, is there an ETA for purchasing part of the Thompson property for purposes of dedicating it to open space?

Thanks!

Good question! I emailed Aliena Gerhard and she just got back to me today...

The Thompson family and the townships (Charlestown and Schuylkill) are continuing to work together on a conservation plan for their property. [...] We hope to have something to release in the spring of 2009 but don't want to rush the process as it's critical that we "get it right" for both the family as well as the Townships.

I'm glad to hear things are progressing along. Under the right terms, this could be a good thing.
