Ag Reserve - You May Already Be Here!

I get a lot of email - most of it junk, to be honest. I love it when the good folks at Montgomery Countryside Alliance send me their updates. It helps remind me why I like living here, and how we have to keep fighting the good fight to keep developers out of our precious Agriculture Reserve.

This month's edition contained the following:

"Have you ever driven north into rural Montgomery and wondered when you are entering the Agricultural Reserve? Have you ever taken a friend into the upcounty who didn’t know that the working farms and beautiful landscape was a unique part of Montgomery County? In January, the County Council unanimously approved a resolution reaffirming its support for the Agricultural Reserve and requesting that signs be erected on major roads entering the Ag Reserve to let travelers know when they are entering the area. Artist Tina Thieme Brown is working with the county on a design for the signs. Montgomery Countryside Alliance thanks the Council and county staff for supporting these signs as a way to raise awareness about the Reserve!"
