Historic Handshake
‘HANDSHAKE DEAL’ SECURES FARM FOR FIELDS
 
WESTPORT, MA – Without Leonard Santos, there wouldn’t be Fields on the Farm.

 

Westport Youth Athletic Association, and the town of Westport, owes a debt of gratitude to Santos and his family for making it work.

WYAA identified the 80-acre Santos Farm on Route 177 as an ideal site for the project, but it was Santos who made it conceivable by agreeing to sell the land for far below its market value.

The purchase was completed and in January 2006, WYAA entered into a 30-year lease agreement on the property with the town for $1 a year, with the directive to construct a privately funded sports complex.

Santos agreed to the land deal by handshake with Tony Vieira, a longtime advocate for youth sports in Westport and WYAA’s 2007 Founders Award recipient. Pictured at right, Santos and Vieira recreated that historic handshake during the organization’s 2007 annual meeting.
