West Barrier Bar ownership change on track

Both the village of Fair Haven and town of Sterling recently have agreed to obtain ownership of the 15-acre West Barrier Bar from Cayuga County, and the county's parks commissioners now officially support the plan.

Together, both municipalities created a proposal to obtain ownership of the land after a five-year transition period.

Three Fair Haven-Sterling Joint Exploratory Committee members attended the Cayuga County Parks Commission meeting Tuesday night to discuss the plan and seek support from commissioners.
