The County's long and successful record of land preservation includes preserving 478 farms, the most in the state, with over 37,000 preserved farmland acres. "Not only does preservation place land beyond the reach of development, it also helps to reduce the amount of available land used for the state's affordable housing formula in municipalities. Keeping Hunterdon County's rural and agricultural character is an important priority for the County Commissioners, with the goal of keeping Hunterdon... Hunterdon," County Commissioner Zach Rich, a former Mayor of West Amwell, noted. Find out more at: www.co.hunterdon. nj.us/864/Board-of-County-Commissioners.
