The 2018 Westchester County Budget provides a new funding line which will be matched by additional funds from New York State to create a comprehensive plan to protect, support and grow agricultural activities throughout the County. The budget addition was submitted by Legislator Francis Corcoran (R) Bedford, Chair of the Board of Legislators Environment and Health Committee.
