METHUEN -- The impending sale of 12 acres of pristine lakeshore land owned by the Archdiocese of Boston has the Forest Lake neighborhood and town officials nervous, with both waiting to see who buys it and for what use.<br>
"It could be now, it could be in the spring," said Forest Lake Association President Stephen Zanni, "but it's going to be sold."<br>
Last night 40 people, including town officials met to discuss the archdiocese's possible plans for the meeting hall and land on Francis Street. The archdiocese took ownership of the parcels when it closed St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Lawrence this summer. <br>
