Agriculture Retention and Development Act
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Agriculture Retention and Development Act of 1981 bought permanent deed restrictions on New Jersey farms so that they had to always remain as farms, and could never be sold for housing or for non-farming commercial development.[1][2]
History
In 1976 the state started a pilot program.[3] The effect was to slow farmland loss in the state.[2] By 1994 it had saved 22,080 acres (89.4 km2).[1]
