Point of clarification on land into trust5/12/08 Residents of Middleboro will be voting on whether the town should purchase 12.2 acres of land abuting the proposed resort casino site as conservation land. Some people have the impression that at some time in the future this land could become part of the Mashpee reservation and taken off the tax rolls. According to the agreement with the town of Middleboro, the tribe has agreed to only take land into trust that has already been mapped as their reservation. Any land purchased in addition to this would be taxed. In addtion to this, any land taken into trust after the initial reservation (or reservations) has to go through the BIA approval process.
