Why it matters
The purchase, intended to generate future revenue for Walden, was deemed a potential financial mistake because the town's existing tax base is constrained by its small, residential makeup. The acquisition could rapidly deplete Walden’s reserves due to the inevitable long-term carrying costs of developing and maintaining the property.
Walden is currently seeking property to generate future revenue for the municipality.
