All Persons Trail Construction - Goldsmith Woodlands

Susan Stott has been an AVIS Trustee since she retired from Phillips Academy.  She was also a founder of Andover Community Trust, which has developed 13 permanently affordable homes in Andover.

AVIS is an all volunteer organization and Susan’s primary responsibility has been for land acquisition. The two largest acquisitions in the last ten years have been 26 acres of the Franciscan property along the Merrimack River and 11 acres near Tewksbury along the Shawsheen River.  Now her biggest challenge is the permitting and funding for the All Persons Trail in the Goldsmith Woodlands, the subject of her presentation.  She will also share what she has learned while working on this project for the past two plus years.
