Suffolk County funds to lock farmland on Long Island
Suffolk County New York votes $55 million to buy development rights for up to 15 000 acres of farmland east of New York City. The program aims to keep land open and agricultural, reducing future tax burdens from housing when suburbs encroach. Farmers receive compensation for limiting use to farming while land remains in ownership. The plan reflects growing conservation needs amid rapid population growth.
