OSAC's work focuses on identifying and evaluating private properties that may be suitable for future acquisition as open space. The committee also collaborates closely with the South Portland Land Trust and other partner organizations to leverage expertise, align efforts, and maximize public benefits.

How to determine if your property may be a fit

Contact Assistant Town Manager, Josh Reny to discuss. If it is, the City will make a fair offer and draw up documents for the sale.

Key benefits of a sale through OSAC

Financial: Potential for fair sale price that is competitive with offers from developers.

Environmental: Permanent protection of critical habitats, such as wetlands, and open space in densely populated city.

Community: Land preserved may be opened for public use, recreation, and enjoyment.

Legacy: Opportunity to dedicate the protected land in your family's name and leave a timeless impact on South Portland.
