Hallowell won big with L.D. 230 being signed into law. The bill allows the sale of Maine National Guard land that is within the Hallowell Recreation Area, “the Res,” to the City of Hallowell. This will allow this parcel of land to be managed in harmony with the rest of the Res area and it will be protected in perpetuity. The acquisition of this parcel will also provide trail users from Hallowell, Manchester, and beyond, contiguous open space for enjoyment and recreation. ~ George Lapointe, Mayor of Hallowell
