Hunterdon Continues To Meet Land Preservation Goals Despite The Pandemic |
|
The pandemic has not prevented the Hunterdon County Planning Department and Counsel’s Office from moving toward finalizing the preservation of over 500 acres of open space and 254 acres of farmland during 2021, County Commissioner Matt Holt reported at the June 15 Board meeting.
Holt, the Board’s liaison to the Planning and Land Use Department, reported, “The staff, including the Counsel’s office and Planning Department, have been very busy locking up additional open space and farmland preservation parcels throughout the first part of the year."

This series is a rare exception in which non-senior Hunterdon County residents are invited to participate in a Senior Center sponsored activity. This is because many residents who are caregivers of people who may require a guardian are non-seniors, and may benefit from these presentations.
