ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
So the Resolution is R-21-148, Authorizing the acquisition of a portion of property at 44 Buck Meadow Road,
Tax Map C, Lot 25, City of Nashua. In the year 2021 resolved by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Nashua
that the Mayor is authorized to purchase a portion of the property located at 44 Buck Meadow Road, Tax Map
C, Lot 25, shown as the area of acquisition on the attached plan for consideration on terms to be mutually
agreed upon by the City and the sellers. Further resolved by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Nashua that
the Mayor will assist the Office of Corporation Counsel and is authorized to prepare and execute all necessary
documents related to such purchase. Funds for the new purchase will come from Fund 5800, School Capital
Project Fund, Project New Middle School, Account 81600 Land.
The analysis reads, This Resolution would authorize the City to acquire a portion of the property at 44 Buck
Meadow Road for consideration and on terms to be negotiated with the sellers. This is the same parcel which
is before the Board on Petition for Street Layout in a parallel process to the Layout Petition the City reached
out to the owners of the parcel in an attempt to negotiate a direct purchase in lieu of taking for the land
necessary for the new road. This Legislation authorizes such a direct purchase on terms to be mutually
agreed upon and approved by the Board of Aldermen. Funds for the purchase will come from Fund 5800
School Capital Projects Fund, New Middle School Account 81600 Land. Chapter 77 provides the Planning
Board will review and make recommendations to the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen on the purchase and
the sale of any land on the City.
We have had unexpected successful negotiations with the owners of this property. This is the last little piece
that connect the land that we bought previously with the school property. It’s a very small lot and we weren’t
sure whether we would be successful in purchasing it but it looks like we are at a very reasonable price and we
have a meeting with them tomorrow. Attorney Leonard suggested that we get this in front of the Board for its
first reading. We are not passing anything tonight, we are not authorizing anything tonight. | am going to
presume that the President will send it to Infrastructure and to the Planning Board where we will get
recommendations back. By the time it goes to Infrastructure we will have all of the details. If anybody has any
questions | could address them.
