Agricultural District 7

Chautauqua County has designated the month of March as the Agricultural District public review period.

Per New York State Agriculture and Markets Law, the County Legislature is required to review an Ag District eight years after its creation and every eight years thereafter.

The eight-year review of Chautauqua County Agricultural District 7 will take place in the Towns of Clymer, French Creek, Harmony, Mina, North Harmony, and Sherman encompassing 94,444 acres.

During this 30 day period, any municipality, land owner, or State Agency whose territory is within the Agricultural District may propose a modification to the Agricultural District. Land owners may submit requests to add parcels of predominantly viable agricultural land or remove parcel(s).
