Advocates Seek Funding for Agriculture Land Preservation Committee

losing farmland to "development" is such a loser environmentally, but our community has not really prioritized promoting development in compact walkable neighborhoods that not only can save farmland, but are also significantly more energy-efficient. To do this we need to take multiple steps – on zoning reform, historic tax credits, making farms more profitable, stop expanding highways that encourage long distance commuting and driving, and move agencies in state government that have moved out of the urban core back.
