 In an effort to reduce the purchase price, the town board asked the mountain's current owners to discount the final four years of rent on the parking lot, a cost of $32,000.The town considered buying only the parking lot and Willow Kiln Park, but the JMC's lawyer indicated that the property would not be divided.Ultimately, the OSI bought Joppenbergh without any financial assistance from the town, gaining ownership of the property in October 2011, although the sale was not completed until December 20, 2011.
