Farmland and Open Space Preservation Millage

Voters in Ingham County, Michigan approved a new millage to help preserve farmland within the county. Land owners can work with Ingham County to enter into land preservation agreements in order to ensure their land is not used for residential or commercial development.
This public effort states loud and clear that voters realize the importance of maintaining agricultural and natural lands for a healthy ecosystem and healthy, local food production.
The tie between a strong economy and open spaces is becoming more clear, as evidenced through initiatives like this one.
