NHLGC’s June “NH Town and City” Focuses on “Agriculture Across New Hampshire”
June 7, 2010 by Heather.
The June issue of the New Hampshire Local Government Center’s publication New Hampshire Town and City has a title of its own: “Agriculture Across New Hampshire.” The magazine has several articles focused on NH’s agriculture. One article is about agricultural commissions. This article is a great, compact resource about why agricultural commissions are important and how they can be started.
One of the ways that an agricultural commission can most directly benefit a community is by reviewing its zoning ordinance and land use regulations to ensure that they are “farm friendly” and do not result in overly onerous impacts on the agricultural community. . . . This is a direct way for the community to work toward preserving its “rural character.”
Take a look at “Agricultural Commissions: Keeping Agriculture Viable in New Hampshire Communities.” Or see the entire June issue using the NHLGC’s great interactive tool: http://www.nhlgc.org/publications/tc_issues.asp. You can also see the April and May issues while you’re there.
