Build it and They Will Come on December 8

Meredith residents are invited to a public discussion about what it takes to make a farm-friendly community. The Town is creating a farmland protection plan ensuring the town’s economic success through agriculture and wants community input.
Nan Stolzenburg of Community Planning and Environmental Associates, the town's consultant, will lead the public presentation, answer questions and explain what a farmland protection plan may look like and mean for the Town of Meredith. The Town hired CPEA with a New York State Ag & Markets grant designed to help rural communities identify their agricultural strengths and plan for a future in farming.


The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, December 8 at 6 p.m. at the Meridale Community Church, County Route 10 across from the Meridale Fire Hall. Light refreshments and snacks will be available.


Bring your ideas and creativity and help Meredith realize its place as a family farm friendly community! If we build it, they will come!
