Williamstown Voters Establish an Agricultural Preservation Fund

This is believed to be the first Agricultural Preservation Fund established by an Agricultural Commission under MGL Ch. 40, Sec. 8L (2016), which empowers Agricultural Commissions to play a role in protecting farms and farmland through grants, municipal appropriations, donations or farm lease income to be used to purchase farmland or conservation restrictions, pay local matches on Agricultural Preservation Restrictions, farmland planning, appraisals, due diligence, and other related purposes.
