Community Turns Out for Meeting on Manocherian Subdivision
PIERSTOWN—More than 100 concerned citizens attended a standing-room only meeting on Sunday, September 7 at the Pierstown Grange. Prompted by the proposed major subdivision of 1,500 acres of farmland, forest, and wetlands on the west side of Otsego Lake, Otsego 2000, Otsego Land Trust, Otsego County Conservation Association, and the SUNY Oneonta Biological Field Station held the meeting to hear from community members and then to amplify their comments.
“We wanted to hear directly from residents to see what type of development they wanted for the area,” said Ellen Pope, executive director of Otsego 2000.
