RFP 026-22 - Agriculture and Farmland Protection Plan Update

Wayne County Economic Development and Planning department is seeking proposals to update the county agriculture and farmland protection plan. The original Plan was adopted in July 1997 and updated in June 2011.  The final plan will include all of the elements set forth in section 324 A (1) of the Agriculture and Markets Law, be approved by the County legislative body and the Commissioner of Agriculture.

The update will also include updating of key maps, identifying critical new trends and establishing a methodology and assessment for balancing the potential impact of solar development with the productive soils in the County. Results of this assessment and analysis will provide municipalities with strategies for updating zoning requirements and other strategies, in an effort to encourage community revitalization and targeted residential investment.
