A draft Agriculture Amendment to Northumberland County’s Official Plan, including proposed updates to mapping, is now available for review. The draft amendment is available online and will be shared at three open houses this fall before being presented to county council for adoption this winter.
This amendment aims to protect the community’s vital local Agricultural System for future generations by reviewing and updating prime agricultural areas in Northumberland, as well as mapping, policies and frameworks related to agriculture and rural lands.
The Agriculture Amendment is part of the ‘Northumberland Next’ initiative to update the county’s Official Plan.
