Two members of the community spoke out against a proposal to declare a parcel of land surplus and then swap that land with a property owner.
The Town of Bel Air is considering the possibility of declaring surplus a piece of land next to Shamrock Park in order to make a swap with a nearby property owner.

Juliana said he and other like-minded town residents don't want the piece of land sold or swapped, but wish it to remain town property.
