Opening Remarks: Kenny Boddye, Occoquan District Supervisor-Elect
Speaker: Mike Kane, Director of Conservation, Piedmont Environmental
PDR programs are an effective, proven technique for protecting important lands. Twenty-two Virginia localities have PDR programs. Many farmers who participate use their PDR payment as capital to expand their farm operation. PDR programs are an invaluable economic development tool. And every development right extinguished through a PDR program is one less new house that requires county services, like public safety and schools.
