How to resolve AdBlock issue? MILTON – On Sept. 26, the Milton Town Board voted to set the public hearing for a pending sale of the former Camp Boyhaven property on Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 6:35 p.m. The town complex is located at 503 Geyser Road.
In the summer, the Boy Scouts of America Twin Rivers Council selected Milton’s $1 million bid to purchase the roughly 300-acre property, which is located off Route 29 near the Town of Greenfield border.
Milton Planning Board Chairman Larry Woolbright said an anonymous donor has pledged to match $500,000 from the town to make the purchase. It would be subject to a public vote.
Milton officials are considering several options for the land, including selling a portion or all of it to New York State as a means to extend the Middle Grove State Forest.
Woolbright also informed the town board that a developer whose bid placed second, behind Milton, is still expressing interest in the property.
