Hydraulic Lots

When two parcels of land along the Fox River came on the market, Oswego officials knew time was of the essence. However, without money to buy the land, which could expand an existing riverfront park, the Oswegoland Park District asked Openlands Land Preservation for help.

In less than sixty days, Openlands secured the funds to buy the parcels and is now leasing the land to the park district while the district seeks acquisition funds from the state.
