Marin supervisors approve Bald Hill land purchase

Marin County supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to adopt an agreement to purchase 60 acres of vacant land in Ross to add to the Bald Hill Open Space Preserve.

The Marin Open Space Trust has entered into an agreement to buy the land for $1.85 million no later than March 12.

The county is set to purchase the property from the trust for $850,000. The money will come from the Marin County Open Space District’s open space fund, which is supported by a parcel tax.

The addition of the land will increase the Bald Hill Open Space Preserve from 46 acres to 106 acres.
