COOPERSTOWN
How would you like to see one of the grand old estates on Otsego Lake developed for public use?
Here’s your chance.
The Brookwood Citizens Committee’s first informational meeting on the future of Brookwood Garden is at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30, in Templeton Hall, and the public is welcome.
It will include an overview of the 22-acre site and its natural, scenic, and historic features. There will be an opportunity for public input, and to work with the committee to explore reuse of the site.
The site is owned by the Cook Foundation, which plans to transfer it to Otsego Land Trust within the next few months.
With Brookwood Point and related conservation easements, the merger of the two organizations will consolidate 1,179 acres of conservation lands around Otsego Lake.
The meeting will be two hours and will conclude with a reception. If you would like to share ideas about the future of the site, but can’t attend, please contact Peter Hujik, Land Trust executive director, at 547-2366.
Otsego Land Trust is also interested in all old photographs and documents related to Brookwood Point.
