Farmland Preservation Taskforce
Farmland Preservation Taskforce
The Henderson County Board of Commissioners voted to approve the creation of a County Farmland Preservation Taskforce at their April 1st, 2024 meeting. The purpose of the Farmland Preservation Taskforce is to preserve and protect agricultural land throughout Henderson County while supporting local producers and the rural character of the County.
The Taskforce's meetings are held the second Monday of the month at 6:00 PM in the King Street Meeting Room unless otherwise noticed. An alternate meeting schedule was adopted for the 2026 calendar year. All who are interested are welcome to attend! Please contact the Planning Department at 828-697-4819 for more information.
*The Taskforce may call additional, Special Called Meetings if agreed upon by members.
