Committee approves $15,000 for Farmland Preservation Plan update and refers request to Zoning
Summary
Douglas County approved a $15,000 capital project request to update its Farmland Preservation Plan, intended to keep producers eligible for state farmland preservation incentives tied to NR 151 standards.
The Land & Water Conservation Committee approved a $15,000 capital-project request to update Douglas County's Farmland Preservation Plan (FPP). The committee noted the FPP helps agricultural producers participate in the state farmland preservation program and qualify for state income tax credits when in compliance with NR 151 agricultural runoff standards. The motion was made by Terry White, seconded by Wendy Bong, and referred to the Zoning Committee for further action.
Committee members emphasized that a certified plan supports landowner eligibility for state incentives. The funding request was included in the meeting agenda and was approved unanimously.
