Recognizing that the future health and welfare of our township, state and country rely on controlling growth and the loss of agricultural and natural habitat lands, we endorse the following actions:

• Stopping assessment of agricultural land based on development/potential development value;
• Reducing taxes on agricultural land to promote continued agricultural usage;
• Stopping the escalation of taxable value when agricultural land is sold or transferred and is maintained in agricultural production;

• Passage by the township of zoning restrictions on development of sensitive natural areas and wetlands;
• Passage of a comprehensive Planned Unit Development Ordinance(PUD) which restricts urban sprawl and encourages preservation of open spaces.
