Education
The LLWIA applied for a tax exemption on the Preserve with the Wayland Town Assessor on September 8, 2017. We hope to qualify the land under the “educational” category. A decision is due by March 1, 2018.
The various property committees have been doing a lot of work on how the property could serve educational purposes.
Alice Publow’s committee submitted the following draft at the last property meeting:
