County Nixes Seven Lots On Farms, But That Could Change

Worcester County farmers will not have the opportunity to carve out seven residential lots on their agricultural property, as opposed to the five lots they are currently allowed, but it turns out that most farmers apparently do not care.

Tuesday’s decision by the Worcester County Commissioners to reject a proposed increase in farm development rights was because so few farmers are even creating such lots.
