RCS not stuck on “postage stamp” sized lot

While the District Office building sits on what appears to be a "postage stamp size" lot at 26 Thatcher Street in Selkirk, RCS actually owns much more land there.

In a recent report to fellow board members, Vice President Cindi Elliott said her research discovered that RCS actually owns 4.2 acres including the land that the town of Bethlehem uses for tennis courts and access to the town park.

Elliott, who is a professional surveyor, volunteered her time to survey the property and research the land.

While the district has no plans to curb the town's use of the property, it does provide the district with the option of creating parking spaces on land to the east of the office building.

In other news, Elliott - who sits on the district's Buildings and Grounds Committee with board member John Vadney - said minor rehabilitation activities may address issues with the District Office building.

In December, the committee reported that the building is structurally okay, but is in need of improvements to address a variety of issues.
