CABARRUS COUNTY <br />A <br />� PLI <br />r; BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />NOVEMBER 21, 2016 <br />�.��yr1II <br />• P .M. <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />Consent Agenda <br />SUBJECT: <br />Planning and Development - Soil and Water Division - Farmland <br />Preservation Grant Applications <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />The Cabarrus Soil and Water Conservation District Board intends to apply <br />for state and federal farmland preservation grant funds to purchase <br />development rights for permanent agricultural conservation easements on <br />two farms. <br />Farmland preservation supports goals of both the Board of <br />Commissioners and the Conservation District Board by improving the <br />quality of life for county citizens. Permanently protecting farmland ensures <br />the land base necessary for the county's agricultural economy while <br />simultaneously keeping the tax burden low by maximizing the amount of <br />land acreage where the cost of county services is lowest. The <br />conservation district has previously applied for and received grant funding <br />to preserve a total of 272 acres of farmland. <br />Any contracts or cooperative agreements associated with successful grant <br />applications will be submitted to the county for approval. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to authorize Cabarrus Soil and Water Conservation District Board <br />to submit one or more applications to the North Carolina Agricultural <br />Development and Farmland Preservation Program Trust Fund and the <br />United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation <br />Service's Agricultural Conservation Easement Program for funds to <br />preserve land on two farms with conservation easements. <br />F -10 Page 171 <br />
