Discussion describes 10‑year, time‑based payment idea for keeping land in AFD/ASD

Greene County · August 17, 2026

Summary

A participant described a time-limited purchase of development rights: owners who commit to keeping land in an AFD/ASD for 10 years could receive payment; the transcript does not specify the payment amount or the acronym definitions.

Committee member described an incentive discussed elsewhere that would pay landowners who agree to keep land in an AFD/ASD for a set period. "If you agree to keep your land in an ASD for 10 years, well, it doesn't say how much. We will give you some money," the committee member said, noting that the program text cited a 10‑year commitment but did not include payment figures in the meeting transcript.

Speakers framed the idea as a tool to make agricultural/farm preservation feasible without permanently removing development potential. Participants did not provide specifics about funding sources, payment formulas, or legal mechanics in this conversation, and the acronym AFD/ASD was not defined in the transcript.
