Applications to the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program now being Accepted

The Charles County Commissioners wish to inform Charles County landowners that applications to participate in Maryland's Fiscal Year 2013 Agricultural Land Preservation Program must be completed, stamped, and received by the Department of Planning and Growth Management by close of business on Friday, May 25, 2012.

The Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF) was created in 1977 by the Maryland General Assembly as an agency of the Maryland Department of Agriculture and is governed by the Agriculture Article, §2-501-2-515 of the Annotated Code of Maryland. MALPF partners with county governments to purchase agricultural land preservation easements that forever restrict development on prime farmland and woodland. The Foundation's statutory mission is to preserve productive farmland and woodland for continued production of food and fiber for the present and future citizens of the State.

For more information on program requirements, and to obtain an application, landowners may visit the MALPF's website athttp://www.malpf.info, or contact Charles County's program administrator, Mr. Charles Rice, at 301-645-0651 or e-mail RiceC(at)CharlesCounty.org.
