With this acquisition, Northampton County now owns 2,262 acres of parklands. This is no accident. Executive Lamont McClure has focused more on purchasing land than developing it. Better to get it now because they aren't making any more of it. That's 41 acres that will never become a warehouse.
This tract includess mature woodlands, rolling terrain, vegetated riparian areas, geologic formations, grass pathways, small pond, agricultural fields, steep slopes, and the Hokendauqua Creek.

rumor has it that you believe that Lamont could walk on the pond, if he so desired
Actually, MM, that's me. I just did it yesterday. Lamont would need about a foot of ice.
This is one topic I agree Lamont is doing an excellent job. We need to save our farmland, stop warehouses and slow down the rapid development of what’s left in our land. We all knock the fossile fules which without a doubt do not help, but when you take land, dirt, grass trees remove them and make it hardtop I would think it contributes more to climate change than anything else. Between the warehouse going up, homes being built and we will say nicely the influx of people moving in from “other states” who bring their values from their area, this is the only solution to try and keep our county beautiful and open. Hats off to Lamont!
