A current map of the Southern Woodlands. The doughnut hole S is landlocked by the Land Bank s existing property F. Once the swap is executed, the Land Bank would absorb S and carve out 24 acres connected to the town-owned parcel O. The X and K parcels on County Road are listed as town property, but the Land Bank purchased the parcels in 2000.
An agreement is in place to swap landlocked town parcel S with parcel T. Parcels O (already owned by Oak Bluffs) combined with T would give the town a large parcel with frontage on EdgartownÂVineyard Haven Road, expected to be used for affordable housing.
