COOPERSTOWN – The Otsego Land Trust has obtained commitments totaling $243,000 to extend its ownership of Brookwood Point for at least the next seven years.

Chairman Harry Levine yesterday announced that several donors have combined to pledge funding for the 22-acre property.   “I am delighted that we now have enough financial stability to continue making this beautiful property available to the public,” Levine said.

With the new funding assuring the status quo for seven years, Levine said the Land Trust will invite the community to help develop a long-term vision and permanent funding sources.

To begin the process, community meetings are planned Sept. 29 and Oct. 25 at Templeton Hall.
