Town of Clifton Park 

The Town of Clifton Park has undertaken an effort to develop an Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan with funding assistance from New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets’ Municipal Farmland Protection Plan Grant Program.

​

What is an Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan?

​

The Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan will establish a vision for the long-term economic viability of agriculture and protection of valuable farmland resources in Clifton Park. The plan will evaluate the current status of agriculture in the Town, including understanding the farm economy, current farmers, farm practices, farm diversity and farm characteristics that influence agriculture. It will outline a roadmap for ensuring the goals and vision for agriculture remain responsive to the farms, people, and conditions of Clifton Park. The roadmap will include strategies and actions the Town can adopt and implement in order to achieve the vision developed in concert with the farming community, residents, and municipal officials.
