		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County will pay a private landowner for a Rising Sun-area farm preservation easement, the first installment of up to $2 million in new local government-paid incentives to preserve farmland. During a worksession Tuesday, County Commissioners briefly reviewed the proposal to purchase an easement on a 152 acre farm on Route 274 near Rising Sun. The proposal, which has been pending before the commissioners since May, was formally introduced at the evening commissioners’ meeting, with a vote expected in two weeks. The property is owned by Jacob and Virginia Carson, who plan to sell the farm to an Amish family but want to ensure it is preserved as farmland for the future. They will obtain money from the actual sale and also money from the preservation easement, which will be funded by federal and county money. The resolution prepared for the Commissioners to introduce at their evening meeting listed total cost of the easement at $550,770, including $12,770 in acquisition costs and fees. The Cecil Land Trust has now obtained approval for federal Farm and Ranchland Protection Program funds in the amount of $244,000. That amount will be turned over to Cecil County to reimburse part of the up-front costs [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County could be on the hook for $414,500 if state rural land preservation funds don’t come through next year for a farmland easement deal backed by three county commissioners. At the least, the county would be fronting $620,000 for the Cecil Land Trust now to buy an easement on the Jacob and Virginia Carson farm located on Route 274 near Rising Sun. About $214,500 from federal farm and ranchland protection funds could be received fairly quickly in Fiscal 2012, as a partial reimbursement to the county. But Cecil Land Trust president William Kilby told the County Commissioners Tuesday “there are no guarantees” that the balance of the cost would be reimbursed by state Rural Legacy Funds and the best-case scenario was that the state money would only be paid out in Fiscal 2013. It was Kilby’s second appearance this month before the County Commissioners to pitch the proposal. (See previous Cecil Times report here: https://ceciltimes.com/2011/05/cecil-county-commissioners-get-earful-from-perryville-mayor-dog-parents/ Kilby’s group has yet to formally apply for either the state or federal aid programs. During his last appearance, two commissioners insisted on seeing a formal written proposal for the project before making any commitments. Kilby presented a two page summary of the plan [&#8230;]]]></description>
