Transfer Development Rights hot potato to farmers residents
The Montgomery County hearing drew over 200 residents to Rockville to discuss Transfer Development Rights. Veteran farmer Harrison King remained neutral, noting farmers have long sought larger compensation while critics argue TDRs boost developer profits and threaten land titles. The debate contrasts county TDRs with the state program, which funds easements and preserves farmland at a higher rate, though farmers face longer payment timelines and stricter eligibility.
