East Hampton commission to review ordinance, flagging zoning barriers for small farms
Summary
Commission members agreed to review the Agriculture Commission ordinance and Conn. Gen. Stat. 1-1Q, and to coordinate with Planning & Zoning to modernize local regulations that they said create barriers for small farms and micro-farming.
Members of the Town of East Hampton Agriculture Commission said they will review the commission’s ordinance and Connecticut General Statute 1-1Q to clarify what local agricultural activity the town can support.
