What do Candidates think about the Ag Reserve? Voters Resource

by Kristina Bostick

Montgomery County's Ag Reserve, comprised of nearly 106,000 acres, is one-third of the County's land mass and provides local  food/fiber, environmental and economic benefits for our region.  No surprise then, that folks (voters) are interested to hear what both incumbents and seat seekers have to say about their vision for and thoughts about this special place.

MCA's Reserve-centric questionnaire was sent to every Council and Executive candidate. Each candidate was given 1000 characters to answer each question. Open ended questions allowed each candidate to express their vision for the Ag Reserve, Ag education and county wide transit and zoning. If you don't find a candidate's name, that means they did not complete a questionnaire. MCA 2014 Candidate Questionnaire Press release
