Meriden Homestead II, LLC, Lamentation Mountain State Park’s southerly neighbor, has requested and received initial approval for the conveyance, or sale of 2.7 acres of state land.

• Meriden Homestead II, LLC has illegally encroached onto Lamentation Mountain State Park by constructing structures and a driveway on park land.

• Purchase of this land by Meriden Homestead II, LLC will avoid the legal consequences for encroaching on and using state owned land.

• If successful, the 2.7-acre land purchase will cut off road and trail access to the park from the Berlin Turnpike.

• The 2.7-acre acquisition has not been properly appraised, and the actual value of the land in this proposed sale has not been determined.

If this sale of land is granted by the state legislature, the encroaching individuals will be rewarded for their illegal trespassing. It makes absolutely no sense to set this precedent.

The Berlin Land Trust strongly opposes

 the sale of 2.7 acres of park land to Meriden Homestead II, LLC.  

Please contact your state legislator and the Governor to express your opposition to the sale of this critically important park land. Join with us  and help protect Lamentation Mountain State Park - Berlin's only state park.
