Preserve Boone County Indiana Farmland

PETITION REQUEST TO LEBANON MAYOR HUCK LEWIS
Remove 1,000 Acres from Lebanon Interchange Plan
The signature(s) on this petition request to have the 1,000 Acres of unincorporated Center Township farmland removed from the proposed Lebanon I-65 and State Road 39 Interchange Land Use Plan. Preserve the generational farmland and rural quality of life Boone County residents cherish.

Why is this important?

1. the industrial and single family residential land uses included in the Interchange Plan for the 1,000 Acres conflict with the Boone County Area Comprehensive Plan that preserves agricultural uses until the year 2030.
2. Boone County Zoning Ordinance as administered by the Area Plan Commission satisfactorily protects the 1,000 Acres from “spot zoning” changes without the Interchange Plan.
3. Farmland is developed land and must be protected.
