6:55 PM


Notice is hereby given that the Montgomery County Legislature will meet in the County Office Building, Route 30A (Broadway), Fonda, NY on Tuesday, November 28, 2017, at 6:55 p.m. for the purpose of holding a PUBLIC HEARING ON INCLUSION OF A PARCEL INTO AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT NO. 2, and AN INCLUSION OF A PARCEL INTO AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT NO. 3.

 

The New York State Agriculture and Markets Law sets forth the requirement that the Legislative Body in every county in New York State with existing Agricultural Districts must designate an annual 30-day period during which landowners may apply for inclusion of their agriculturally viable land in an Agricultural District.

 

Montgomery County’s review period takes place from September 1-30 annually. Within that time the Montgomery County Farmland Protection Board received such an application on behalf of the County Legislature.

 

The intent of the proposed inclusions is through the request of a landowner to include their 27.1 acre parcel of land within the boundaries of Agricultural District No. 3, and a request for a landowner to include their 118 acre parcel of land within the boundaries of Agricultural District No. 2.

 

Descriptions and maps of said parcel inclusion recommendations made thereto may be examined at the Department of Economic Development and Planning, Room 203, Old County Courthouse, 9 Park Street, Fonda, NY.
