Vote on Historic Waltham Farm Set for Tonight

The Waltham Land Trust is pushing the city to purchase Arrigo Farm.

The Waltham City Council is set to vote tonight on sponsoring an application to purchase Arrigo Farm.

The council, which meets at 8 p.m. at City Hall, is considering a request to sponsor a Community Preservation Committee application to buy the farm. According to the Waltham Land Trust, the farm's owners have plans to develop the site on Warren Street. The farm was previously one of the country's oldest working farms before its owner, John Arrigo, died in 2011.

The Council's Committee of the Whole has recommended the full council sponsor the application. No purchase price has been issued yet.
