The first property in Manchester Township concerned around 7.21 acres on Wilbur Avenue and Renaissance Drive for no more than $612,000 plus up to $900 for property tax adjustments. The second property is on Wrangle Brook Road and Manchester Boulevard. It is 41.22 acres in an amount not to go over $212,500 plus up to $1,200 for property tax adjustments.
Quinn said the property by Wilbur Avenue “is adjacent to township property and in proximity to the future county park in Manchester Township off of Ridgeway Road. The acquisition of this property would stop family homes from being developed on the site and the property owner has accepted a bid of $612,000 based on our appraisals and the township has accepted this acquisition.”
Noting the Wrangle Brook Road and Manchester Boulevard property, Quinn said, “it is immediately adjacent to over 2,000 acres of state-owned Whiting Wildlife Management area. The township has supported this acquisition.”
The county collects money through an open space tax on every property. This money goes into a fund for specifically this purpose. Once a piece of land is identified, its owners are contacted to see if they want to sell to the county. Then, the property is appraised. The governing body of the town has to sign off on the purchase, because this takes the land off the tax rolls.
