They should take the $17 million, then find some enviro wacko to find some rare bug on the land, preventing any development, then apply as a caretaker of the land, offering to take the job for free and stay on the existing residence.

The land is to be used for passive recreation.

The sneaky dirty little secret is that the town is taking this land for 'green acres' so they can turn over other land designated for that purpose....to a developer.

Or find some family diary that shows that Great Grampa Bob used to collect mercury for fun, and buried jars all over the property.
