| Bucks Briefs for Aug 11
COUNCIL ROCK The Council Rock school board is asking county court for permission to sell most of the Melsky tract to Toll Brothers Inc. and the rest to a Newtown Township landowner. Toll has agreed to sell 200 acres of the nearby Dolington Tract for $7 million to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as long as it is able to buy part of the Melsky property from Council Rock. The VA plans to build a national veterans cemetery on the Dolington site off Washington Crossing Road. Toll wants to build 90 homes on the Melsky property that straddles the Upper Makefield-Newtown Township border. In June, the school board entered into an agreement to sell 94 acres of the tract off Stoopville Road to Toll for $7 million and the other 40 acres to landowner Leo Holt for $900,000.
