On May 16, Voorheesville Central School District voters will decide on proposed increased spending plans from the public library and school district, while candidates running for each institution’s board are unopposed.
Capping months of discussion, the Edgartown conservation commission is set to issue two separate requests for proposals that split the educational and agricultural uses of the historic Katama Farm, after the Trustees of Reservations vacate the property later this month.
The draft RFPs were drawn up by town counsel and the newly-formed Katama Farm stewardship committee, and will be likely released after approval by the full conservation commission in the coming days, according to town conservation agent Jane Varkonda.
In a press release that went out Tuesday and a follow-up interview, Ms. Varkonda said the town and stewardship committee had decided to separate leases for the use of the 180-acre farm and outbuildings early on in the long discussion process, and subsequently hammered out details regarding rent, use, utilities and other elements of the iconic farm property.
