Notable Quotes (2)
The criteria is that the property must be less than 120 acres in area. It abuts a city boundary and it's not served by utilities.
I would love to see us when we do these kind of things to even have the sidewalk along the short segment so that people who are trying to access the trail have a way to do that.
