Overview
The Town of Grand Island has approved the Resource Guide for the Protection and Promotion of Agriculture and Farming. The development of this plan was funded through a grant from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. The purpose of this project was to develop a plan that will further the recommendations of the Town's newly adopted Comprehensive Plan; build a consensus among the Town's farmers, agricultural business representatives, residents, and Town officials; provide a framework to preserve the Town's agricultural heritage and existing farming activities in the community, and to promote and enhance opportunities for new or expanded agricultural activity of any size or scale on Grand Island.
