Overview: In a recent meeting of the Southampton Select Board, developments were discussed regarding the town’s acquisition of 52 acres of land on College Highway, previously owned by the LA Brothers. The acquisition, finalized last week, was made possible through a generous donation from the Bo family, who contributed a mutual fund that reduced the town’s borrowing requirement from $2.2 million to $1.2 million. This donation, described as “incredibly generous,” will alleviate financial pressure on taxpayers and enable the town to pursue future projects, including a public safety complex, a senior center, and affordable housing.
