Standish will sell a piece of town-owned property to a local nonprofit soccer club for $1, ending a period of uncertainty about what would happen to a parcel of land originally donated to the town for soccer fields. The 22-acre parcel at 16 Moody Road was given to the town in 2014 by Walter Butler with the understanding that it would be used for soccer fields. But the fields were never built, and town councilors decided to sell it and another piece of town-owned property.
