Lyme Amid public outcry about the effect of a recent budgeting move on the town s natural character, residents will have the chance to formalize the town s policy on open space at a town meeting next week.
A resolution to be voted up or down at the May 19 annual town meeting was proposed by the Board of Selectmen earlier this month. It would require the Board of Finance to set a minimum goal of $1 million for the open space reserve fund. It also specifies the finance board should take all measures to achieve that goal in the 2022-23 budget plan, and replenish the fund in a timely fashion whenever it is used to purchase property.
