Subject: Moore County Working Lands Protection Plan Consensus
               Working Group Meeting - 4/11/2012

Dear Moore County Agricultural Stakeholder,

The Moore County Working Lands Protection Plan Consensus Working Group we will meet again on Wednesday, April 11th from 2:00pm-4:00pm at the Moore County Agricultural Center (707 Pinehurst Avenue in Carthage). Interested parties are welcomed to attend.  The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the amended draft of the Working Lands Protection Plan with the Group and to seek endorsement by the Group on the amended plan so it may be forwarded to each individual Board for their endorsement and finally consideration for adoption by the Board of County Commissioners.

On the Project’s website there are two updated files under "Informational Links" now ready for your viewing.  One is a marked-up version of the last plan draft (shows deleted text struck through (text) and new text underlined (text)).  The other, a "Clean" version of the plan, is also available in the same location if you would just like to see the amended plan without the revisions highlighted.

Please contact the Moore County Planning and Community Development Department (910-947-5010) or the Moore County Soil and Water Conservation District Office (910-947-5183 ext. 3) if you have questions or comments.


Best Regards,
Jeremy

You can read or download the Revised Plan (Amended April 11, 2012) by clicking here.  All references to the hated Five Mile Buffer Zone have been deleted.  However, in spite of public encouragement to pare down superfluous content, the Planning Department has made the document much longer than the original document.  This is primarily due to the unnecessary inclusion of NC State Statutory sections as appendices and the questionable inclusion of an independent equine report as another appendix.
