Upcoming Meetings - meetings start at 7:00 p.m.
-> Meeting with Board of Selectmen - October 11 - Selectmen Meeting Room
Important Note Regarding Meeting Minutes:
In an effort to keep the public informed between meetings, the Committee will post draft minutes as much as possible. These are not approved, and may indeed contain contradictory comments which will be resolved at the next meeting. We hope that they will be helpful, and taken in that spirit - but please rely on the Approved minutes for the final word on our decisions.
Thank you, BLUPC

Introduction
- The Town purchased the Busa Farm on Lowell Street on December 2, 2009.
- The Selectmen have the option to lease out the property for 3 years, and have leased it back to Dennis Busa to continue farming during the 2010 growing season.
- Board of Selectmen established the Busa Land Use Proposal Committee (BLUPC) to identify desirable future uses for the Busa Farm property within the categories of "open space," "historical preservation," "housing," and "recreation," as defined in the Community Preservation Act.
- The committee has scheduled a series of open forums to hear the community's ideas, hopes, opinions, and vision for the future use of the land from Lexington's residents on September 15, October 7, and November 4.
Detailed information about committee meetings, dates and agendas is available on the Calendar of Public Meetings.
