Amherst is buying land in hopes of spurring construction of single family homes

On today’s show, we speak with Amherst mayor David Kogon about the town’s recently announced purchase of 15 acres of land which it hopes to sell off to developers and home builders as 30 single family home lots. Kogon says the project helps round out the town’s overall housing strategy, by boosting the building of single family homes.

Plus, we hear from Tantramar Outdoor Club co-president Karin Aurell about a new parking lot project on Walker Road at the trail head for the TOC-maintained ski, snowshoe and hiking trails.
