Agritourism Study Advisory Committee

Background

The Planning Department formed the Agritourism Study Advisory Committee (ASAC) in October 2017 and formally invited members of the agricultural community, industry experts, governmental representatives and community members. The role of the ASAC is to review the progress of the study and provide guidance at key intervals or decision points during the development of the study. The representation on the ASAC is intended to provide a balanced discourse on the current issues, impacts and status of Agritourism in Montgomery County.
