Town Board Considers Rechler Extension

In 2007 Rechler Equity Partners agreed to purchase 300 acres of land at EPCAL for $35 million dollars.  The economy began to slow down in the next few years and Rechler asked the Town to consider a reduction in the original purchase price from $35 million to $18 million dollars.  The Town reluctantly agreed and approved the reduction.  Now Rechler is asking the Town for a contract extension of at least 3 months before completing the deal.  The Board will meet to decide on the request.
