State wants Tub Mill Pond parcel

"The Town of Moriah must decide whether to endorse the sale of Tub Mill Pond to the State of New York.
Without town approval, state law does not allow the purchase with state Environmental Protection Fund money, which the Department of Environmental Conservation wants to use."

"The 1,200-acre area is located off Ensign Pond Road in Moriah, and is currently owned by Tub Mill Pond LLC, a sportsmen’s group. It had been offered for sale previously for more than $1.9 million. Besides Tub Mill Pond, the sale includes Rockport Pond, which has a small dam, and Smith Pond."
