Their issues include: title provisions, hazardous materials, due diligence, closing date, lease, and naming rights. The Selectmen agreed with Town Counsel’s recommendations. The Selectmen feel it is very important to include due diligence language in the agreement. The Lease should include some standards for appropriate materials/chemicals that can be used while the property is being leased back to the Busa family and it is important to include the indemnification Town Counsel proposed. The naming rights for the property would need to follow the Naming Policy and be mutually agreeable.

They are interested in selling 2 acres of the parcel to the Town as long as it is not used for farming, but they do not want a cut throughto Farm Road or any parking.
