Weeks after a set of former Point East lots became the first Mason Station properties with a buyer, word came Monday about interest in other Mason Station properties including the former energy plant.

Sherri Dunbar of Tim Dunham Realty said Monday that two parties are expressing strong interest, one in the plant; the other in Point East property. “There is very strong interest, but whether or not it’s going to work out is still to be revealed,” Dunbar said.

Selectmen Monday night agreed to have Town Manager Marian Anderson contact Dunbar to set up an appointment for Anderson to speak with a party about Mason Station. Anderson said afterward she did not yet know whether the party was interested in the plant or Point East lots. That’s part of what she needed to find out, she said.

Anderson brought up the new development with selectmen near the close of the night’s budget talks.

“We did receive a request from the town realtor that there is someone who would like to discuss the Mason Station and have a conversation,” Anderson told the board.

“I don’t have any real information about what they want to talk about,” Anderson told selectmen. “So I would like the opportunity to maybe have a conversation with that individual to see what they might have in mind, just so that I can prepare information for you. There might be some history or some things that would be helpful to the board when you have this meeting ... if that seems reasonable to you.”

“It does,” Selectmen’s Chairman Ben Rines Jr. said. “I want to meet but I want a little bit of substance there, not just for the sake of talking, because you can do that,” he told Anderson.

Selectman David Cherry said, “I just think we do need to address this in a timely fashion.” Board members told Anderson to let the person know the board is very interested. She said she would; she also seeking answers to a couple of legal questions, she said.

On March 15, selectmen approved Peregrine Consulting’s $200,000 purchase offer on six lots, including two model homes, all part of the tax-acquired property that, a decade ago, was Mason Station LLC’s planned Point East subdivision, according to Dunbar, Anderson and Peregrine Consulting owner David Stapp. The closing is still on for May, Rines said Monday.
