Milton’s City Council closed on the last of 14 acres of land adjacent to popular Bell Memorial Park Monday evening. The city paid $1.287 million for the land, which will more than double the size of the park. City leaders will schedule public meetings to discuss how the new property should be used.

The purchase was based on fair market value in an open environment that included public hearings, City Manager Chris Lagerbloom said.
