OPEN SPACE

Open Space is a term that we hear quite often and is very much in the news these days. Open space is a broad term for undeveloped land which can include areas of natural, historic, ecological, and economic value. The question often arises as to why we should protect open space, and the answer has been found in communities across the nation. By preserving open space, we can preserve community character, protect water resources which may be needed in the future for drinking, enhance the community and make it more attractive, protect habitats which in turn preserves biodiversity, provide areas for passive recreation, and keep property taxes down. It's obvious that the benefits of protecting land are far reaching and significant.
