The municipality of Chester has acquired a five hectare piece of land along the East River. The property was purchased for $60,000 from a private owner in a deal finalized this week. The listed value of the property was originally $94,000. Warden Allen Webber says the price was right for a nice piece of land. "It's a very nice piece of property that's right by our trails system and we thought it was some property worth pursuing," The area is bordered by the Chester Connection Trail and is a good spot for fishing, canoeing and hiking.
