COOPERSTOWN – The deadline for RFPs on Brookwood Gardens passed at 5 p.m. today, and Otsego Land Trust Board Chair Harry Levine said "several" proposals for 11 acres of the prime lakeside property have been received.

"I'm very encouraged," said Levine, who said a Land Trust committee will meet Friday for an initial review of the 47 proposals that came out of the request-for-proposal process.

He declined to get more specific on the number, but said seeking requests for the property brought 9,000 visits to review information on the Land Trust's website.
