CHARLESTOWNÂ â Members of the Town Council have approved a motion authorizing the purchase of a 66.5-acre parcel of land along Alton Carolina Road known as Tucker Woods.

Carter Memorial Preserve and Carolina Management Area, serves as a corridor connecting the Carter Preserve wetlands and the Pawcatuck River. The town will acquire the property for an agreed upon $900,000, according to Town Administrator Mark Stankiewicz.
The town is eligible to receive a Rhode Island Department of Management open space grant for $400,0000, and will be responsible for funding the remaining $500,000. The purchase will be made using the townâs open space fund balance.
