The basis for public investment towards conservation projects in the
Town of Clifton Park should be based on parcel's applicability to
the Town of Clifton Park Open Space Plan, Town of Clifton Park
Comprehensive Plan, Western Clifton Park GEIS and Land Conservation
Plan, other relevant studies and plans, and resource and project
criteria as discussed in more detail. The property must meet
one or more of the major resource category areas identified below.
If the parcel/property meets one or more of the major resource
criteria, the following additional factors shall be evaluated for
determining project priority action:
Is the landowner (and all landowners on the title)
interested/ready to work with the town in exploring
conservation options?
Are the landowners willing to sign a letter of intent
agreeing to explore conservation options and/org to conduct
an appraisal to inform and be a basis for decision-making?
Is/are the landowner(s) willing to explore the potential
for a bargain sale of land or development
rights/conservation easement?
Are there any outside funding opportunities to help
leverage any potential town investment in this project?
