Moving forward on implementing the Hunterdon County Open Space Strategic Plan, the Hunterdon County Freeholder Board acted at recent meetings to approve the preservation of a 64-acre farm and two open space properties with over 70 combined acres, in conjunction with two major environmental non-profits.
Properties approved for preservation included 64 acres of the Curtis Farm in the Rosemont Valley, 31 acres of open space for a park near downtown Whitehouse Station, and 40 open space acres on Stanton Station Road, near the Echo Hill park, in Readington.
Freeholder John E. Lanza, the Board’s liaison for Planning and Land Use, stated, “The preservation of these three land parcels is exactly what was envisioned in the County’s Open Space Strategic plan, adopted by the Freeholder Board in 2018.”
