Plum officials have moved one step closer to establishing Agriculture Security Areas (ASAs) in the borough.
Council unanimously voted Jan. 11 to form an advisory committee with Vice President Dave Vento as its chair.
Vento will work with council President Dave Odom to fill the other committee seats, which must include three farmers and a resident. The advisory committee is just one of several steps in developing an ASA.
“There’s a lot to it, so I’m just trying to read the manual and get up on all the things that it entails,” Vento said. “I’m in favor of getting as much economic development as we can. There are a lot of people that don’t want their land infringed upon.
