Hunterdon Farmland Preservation
Tops 32,500 Acres
|
Hunterdon County Freeholders, at the Board meeting on September 18, added another 66 acres to the County’s farmland program by approving the preservation of an Alexandria Township farm, the 412
th
farm preserved in the County, that brings the total acreage preserved to over 32,500 of farmland.
Freeholder Director Matt Holt stated, “The two parcel Miller Farm is significant because it straddles Rick Road in Alexandria, thus maintaining the viewshed on both sides.
Furthermore, each parcel is adjacent or close to already preserved farms, creating a farm corridor into perpetuity. That is a key reason why the County’s Agriculture Development Board (CADB) recommended the preservation of the farm.”

Hunterdon Freeholders Endorse Lance Bill To Stop 9-1-1 Fees Diversion
|
|
Hunterdon County's Freeholder Board has endorsed Congressman Leonard Lance's federal legislation, H.R. 6424, aimed at stopping the diversion of 9-1-1 fees for other uses by New Jersey and other states.
Freeholder John E. Lanza, the Board's liaison for Public Safety, stated, “Right now phone users pay 90 cents per month that goes into a fund to support 9-1-1 costs at the local level. In New Jersey that is $130 million per year, yet Hunterdon County has not seen one dime of that funding in the past 12 years.”
Congressman Lance is working with several other members of Congress, from both parties, on H.R. 6424 which is designed to give the Federal Communication Commission the authority to stop the diversion of telephone taxes from the 9-1-1 costs that they were intended to fund.
