A Permanent Home for Eye of the Storm?

Friends of Red Acre (FORA)

A concerned group of Stow citizens is trying to develop an alternative to the development of the Kunelius property on Red Acre Road in Stow. This high-density development would replace the existing horse farm, placing 30 families on just 2 acres of land. The town has the right of first refusal and the Friends of Red Acre (FORA) is implementing a plan where the town would assign its ability to purchase the property to a non-profit organization.

Fundraising efforts are currently in progress to relocate Eye of the Storm to the Kunelius horse farm on 4-5 acres of the property. 42 acres would be given to the town as a gift. Two existing houses on the property would be deed restricted as affordable housing, with one of them owned by Eye of the Storm as a caretaker's residence.

A draft of an article supporting this plan is currently being reviewed by the Stow Selectmen. There will be a vote at town meeting in January and the purchase would have to be put into place in mid-February.


Thanks for your help!

Let's find Eye of the Storm a permanent home!
