What the town is voting on tonight is a warrant article to pass its right of first refusal on the property to a nonprofit with a conservation bent. It would cost the town some money (which is why they might not do it), but it would mean not developing a couple of acres that at least some resisdents don't want developed (because it's their back yards). Depending on how each side is sold, it really could go either way. So people would vote for it (and against us) if they think that a horse farm is a better use of the land than a cohousing community, and worth spending about $300,000 on it in the process.
