LOCK HAVEN It’s a relatively light primary election ballot in Clinton County with only two county row offices on the ballot and four seats on the Keystone Central School Board open.
But there are a few contested races with some names from the past showing their faces in municipalities that may bring out a heavier than expected voter turnout, especially in those regions.
The primary election is Tuesday, May 18, and basically is just for registered Republicans and registered Democrats who may vote only on their party’s ballot to move candidates into the November 2 General Election, when the Republicans and Democrats can vote for candidates of any party.

LOCK HAVEN Clinton County Agriculture Preservation Board reminds area farmland owners of 35 acres or more, the current round of applications to the Farmland Preservation Program will be accepted until March 31.
The next round of applications will be eligible for April 1 to March 31, 2023.
Applications submitted previously can be resubmitted to be reconsidered for the next round, if landowners who have previously applied so choose. There is a $50 non-refundable fee to apply.
Clinton County’s Program, similar to 57 other county programs, pays farmland owners for conservation easements to be placed on valuable farmland. The easement purchases the development rights of the land, thus preserving the farmland forever.
