2 issues in environment with medium priority
Farmland and natural lands preservation
The county released $155,000 total to preserve two farms — a fully wooded 106-acre property on the Conewago Creek and 97 acres of prime farmland near East Berlin — permanently protecting them from development.
Farmland and open space preservation
The county is preserving over 3,100 acres a year — well past its 2,500-acre benchmark — but nobody has calculated the total acreage goal. President Wheeler wants a number so the county can celebrate when it gets there.
