Enfield Falls Road parcel spared from foreclosure
Summary
The county is holding a roughly six-acre Enfield parcel with two trailers off the foreclosure auction for a year so State Parks can try to buy it directly from the deceased owner's estate. The Enfield Town Board unanimously supports the acquisition, and the county keeps the town and school whole on about $311 in taxes meanwhile.

Impact analysis
The county is out about $311 in back taxes on the parcel for now, but any buyer would have to pay all back taxes at sale.
State Parks, the Finger Lakes Land Trust, and Enfield residents who'd gain parkland, creek protection, and a cleaner park entrance.
Nobody directly — the heirs may benefit from a direct sale rather than foreclosure.
