Keeping Oregon Oregon Explores How One Community is Fighting to Keep Its Prime Farm Land
Keeping Oregon Oregon talks with Aaron Nichols of Stoneboat Farm, who is leading the fight to save prime farmland in the area of North Plains, Oregon from development. Nichols' group, Friends of North Plains Smart Growth, oppose legislation (HB 4026A) which, if passed, prevents final land use decisions from being subject to a voter referendum and reviewable exclusively by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. At this writing, the bill has passed the Oregon House and is up for a public hearing in a Senate committee.
