COOPERSTOWN – Despite the urging of a majority of people who spoke during the public comment period, the Village Board this evening voted 4-2 not to submit a $1 bid to assume responsibility for 11 acres of Brookwood Gardens, the Otsego Land Trust property overlooking Glimmerglass two miles north of the village limits.

The trustees then voted, 5-1, to urge the Town of Otsego, where Brookwood is located, or the County of Otsego or some other non-profit entity to assume ownership of the property and develop it or preserve it for the public benefit.
