This is for a possible grant from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Melissa was contacted by an Olive Evans re: property at the corner of Wells Avenue and Main Road in Southold. She would like to see this pacel preserved. Outreach Melissa showed the Committee a list of ag parcels without ag exemptions. It was suggested that John Sepenoski map the list, as it would be easier to see if it were put on a map. The Committee will then analyze the list. It was also suggested that every time the Town purchased a parcel for preservation, that a press release be done. The next meeting of the Land Preservation Committee is scheduled for October 16, 2001. With no further business to be conducted, the meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Joyce M. Wilkins Secretary
