<strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Liberty</strong><br />

<strong>Agriculture</strong> <strong>and</strong> Farml<strong>and</strong> <strong>Protection</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

This section outlines an action plan to implement the <strong>Agriculture</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

Farml<strong>and</strong> <strong>Protection</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>’s recommended strategies. Leadership from the<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Board is critical to put this plan into action. Although the <strong>Town</strong> Board<br />

has the ultimate responsibility in implementing this plan, they will need<br />

assistance from various boards, agencies, <strong>and</strong> organizations for specific<br />

strategies recommended in the plan.<br />

This plan calls for a variety <strong>of</strong> policy decisions, program initiation, regulatory<br />

changes, coordination with regional organizations <strong>and</strong> agencies, <strong>and</strong><br />

securing funding. The following schedule is a compilation <strong>of</strong> all the actions<br />

identified in this <strong>Plan</strong>. The action table does not detail each strategy<br />

contained in the <strong>Plan</strong>. Instead, it is a compilation <strong>of</strong> the actions suggested<br />

<strong>and</strong> presents a prioritization <strong>of</strong> major categories <strong>of</strong> work to be accomplished<br />

in <strong>Liberty</strong>. This Action <strong>Plan</strong> should not be a substitute for the details<br />

contained in the rest <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />

The table below provides a checklist <strong>of</strong> strategies <strong>and</strong> identifies the level <strong>of</strong><br />

priority each holds as well as staff, agencies <strong>and</strong> organizations who would be<br />

responsible for implementing that action, <strong>and</strong> the specific section in this plan<br />

where details about that action can be found.<br />

Key to Priorities<br />

The priorities listed in the table below are based on the following scale:<br />

_________________________________________________<br />

Initial Short Medium Long Ongoing<br />

Where<br />

Initial = Highest priority to be implemented immediately following plan<br />

adoption (Within the First Year).<br />

Short = High priority to be implemented within two years following plan<br />

adoption.<br />

Medium = Priority to be implemented within two to five years <strong>of</strong> adoption.<br />

Long= Important but not a critical priority, to be implemented within<br />

five to seven years following plan adoption.<br />

Ongoing= An action item that needs ongoing attention.<br />
