Overview: At a recent Littleton Board of Selectmen meeting, the potential sale of Nagog Hill Orchard emerged as a key issue, drawing significant public concern and debate among the board members. The discussion revolved around the declaration of the orchard as surplus property and the subsequent steps required to sell it, including the approval of a warrant article. Public concerns were raised about the perceived lack of transparency and input in the decision-making process, prompting the board and the Orchard working group to propose measures to enhance public engagement. These measures include adding two public at-large members to the working group, organizing public input sessions on the criteria for the request for proposal (RFP), and committing to an open public meeting with a joint vote on the final decision regarding the purchaser.
