The purchase price is $411,000, but the city will only pay $102,750. The balance of the purchase will be paid from a Clean Ohio Grant, which the city will apply for this fall.
The property abuts Harbin Park on the east side of Gray Road and northwest of Park Place.
The grant requires the land remain passive, said Fairfield Parks Director Jim Bell.
“We can extend pathways, trail heads, natural areas, but it has to remain passive,” he said. “Our intent is to put a trail head in there, and a small parking lot to have access to the trail head.”
