Rockland Farm Alliance writes:

“The mission of the Rockland Farm Alliance is to facilitate local sustainable agriculture in Rockland County. We are not a political organization and as a matter of policy, we do not endorse specific candidates or platforms. Local development issues often involve enormous economic and environmental consequences, which affect land use policy for us all.

There is a multi-million dollar bond referendum for the Town of Ramapo residents on Tuesday, Aug 24.  At issue, is public funding for a baseball stadium.” If you live in Ramapo, you can vote on this TODAY.”

Information for and against the stadium is available at:
