WATCH NOW: Stafford supervisors downzone agricultural land t

Stafford supervisors voted 4–3 on Tuesday to downzone nearly 90,000 acres of agricultural land in the county from one home per 3 acres to one home per 6 acres.
Downzoning has been on the supervisors’ radar for years and four months ago, Supervisor Gary Snellings hinted at a compromise.
“I think we can work something out that will be satisfactory to everyone without providing 10-acre lots,” said Snellings.
Supervisors Tinesha Allen, Tom Coen and Cindy Shelton each voted against the measure, which was introduced Tuesday night by Supervisor Meg Bohmke.
“I want you to know that I don’t take this vote lightly,” said Bohmke. “But the county cannot sustain the infrastructure cost in the rural areas, and the citizens in the urban services area are going to pay for all these costs.”
