Public Parcel included - Let me Repeat

Sorry for the repeat post, but I feel as though the public should be aware that there is Salem Public land involved/ traded for the proposed 'development' to occur.  Officials of the City of Salem are not making this very clear... see here.


This drawing, shows the ownership of the parcels.   Salem's Public Parcel of 4 acres (which was once the Camp's parcel taken by eminent domain) will become a Lowe's parking lot, access road and part of Super Wal-Mart's lot.  (click on images to view.) 

Land Swap- City of Salem is transferring the Salem Public parcel to the retailer.  

Camp Lion is then loosing more land to the City of Salem. 

The proposed Lowe's -  siting over a Salem Public parcel, Camp Lion parcel (pristine woods and wetlands). Super Wal-Mart will propose a similar negative environmental impact, as ledge and trees will be blasted around the site.

More acres of trees will be lost with the new 'camp pad' on Camp Lions, clearing the land for new facilities:  buildings, pool, parking lots, fields, etc.
