Blueberry Barrens Purchase Closes

– The Land is Purchased! Now Let’s Repay the Loan! –

On July 30, Blue Hill Community Development, purchased the barrens from the developer for $1.8M. The purchase was made possible by an interest free loan from an anonymous foundation.

The project team notes that “this moment feels a little bit like a miracle that was impossible to imagine a year ago.”

But as important as this milestone is, there is still a lot of work to do! The land will not be transferred to Blue Hill Heritage Trust (BHHT) and open to the public until we repay the loan and BHHT has made this extraordinary site ready for visitors.

Fundraising to date has been gratifying, with approximately $600,000 raised so far. But that leaves $1.2 million to go. The project needs large gifts, lots of smaller gifts, and everything in between.
