NOTICE: Lewis County Agricultural 30-day annual inclusion period is now open

LOWVILLE- Lewis County’s annual 30-day Agricultural Inclusion Period is now open through December 15, where landowners may submit requests for inclusion of predominately viable agricultural land with an existing certified agricultural district.

Be sure to listen to our latest on-air coverage from Monday, November 25, 2024 with Casandra Buell, Director of Planning & Community Development:

During this period, landowners may submit written requests for inclusion into the Agricultural District.

Parcels requesting inclusion must meet the definition of “viable agricultural land,” while lands already included in the district do not need to submit a request.

Interested parcel owners must complete the Agricultural District Inclusion Worksheet, which must include a written description of the land, the tax map identification number, and be accompanied by a copy of the relevant portion of a tax map depicting the location of the property to be included in the Agricultural District.

See the worksheet and form application here.
