Purpose

The Person County Agricultural Advisory Board (AAB) was originally established by the Person County Voluntary Agricultural District Ordinance on February 7, 2011, which was repealed on October 17, 2022, and replaced with the Person County Farmland Preservation Ordinance. The AAB acts as the liaison between the agricultural community and the Board of Commissioners. Some responsibilities of the AAB are:

  • Delegated authority to make decisions and execute agreements for the Voluntary/Enhanced Agricultural District programs
  • Study additional methods of protection for farming, horticulture, and forestry and make recommendations to the Board of Commissioners           
  • Perform other agricultural, horticultural, and forestry-related tasks or duties assigned by the Board of Commissioners
  • Provide recommendations and input on modification to the Person County Farmland Preservation Plan
  • Provide guidance to County Departments on agricultural related issues

Meetings

The Agricultural Advisory Board will meet the fourth Wednesday of first month of every quarter (January, April, July, and October) at 5:30 pm, as needed, in Conference Room 111 located in the Person County Office Building, 304 S. Morgan St., Roxboro. Meetings are open to the public. Guests planning to attend should notify Nancy McCormick in advance to confirm the meeting. Meetings may be relocated to accommodate larger audiences.
