Town of Amherst Agricultural Plan

Wendel performed a survey of agricultural needs and interests amongst Town residents, performed an economic assessment of the current state of agriculture in the Town, and reviewed current zoning regulations. The final product included recommendations and an implementation plan. Identifying agriculture as an economic asset as well as a natural asset adds another layer of value to these lands.

Helping communities plan for the future takes more than a history of success. It takes creative thinking and innovation, knowledge of how municipalities function, a diversity of skilled professionals, and a passion for improving quality of life and achieving sustainability.
