Purpose:   

The St. Clair County Agricultural Preservation Board is dedicated to preserving farmland and open space throughout St. Clair County, Michigan.  It also works to promote agricultural tourism and economic development within the region.

The St. Clair County Agricultural Preservation Board was born out of the Farmland and Open Space Initiative (FOSI) group and was formally established on June 9, 2004 by the St. Clair County Board of Commissioners. They are the governing board over the County's Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program. As part of the County’s PDR program, a conservation easement is placed on the land when development rights are purchased or donated from an actively farmed property. A conservation easement is designed specifically to protect farmland by means of compensating farmers for their willingness to accept a deed restriction on their land that limits future development for non-agricultural purposes. Participation is voluntary and landowners are compensated for lost development potential at fair market value for development rights. They still own the land and retain all other rights associated with it; however, the land must continue to be used for agricultural purposes, or remain in a natural state permanently, regardless of transfer or sale of the property.

Responsibilities:

The St. Clair County Agricultural Preservation Board is completely funded by donations. Previously, when there was more funding available and the board was more active, they also worked to educate local officials on farmland and open space preservation and to promote agribusiness and economic development. They have worked with landowners interested in preserving farmland, educated people about the conservation easement donation process, and undertaken other activities to promote the agricultural economy in St. Clair County. The purpose of agricultural preservation is to preserve valuable farmland that would otherwise be developed. Once land is lost to development, it no longer retains the valuable farming qualities that once existed. The public meetings are held on an as needed basis.
