Section 2:76-9.2 - Emergency purchase conditions

(a) If the SADC determines that there is a substantial likelihood that the use of the land will change from productive agriculture to non-agriculture, the SADC may provide up to 100 percent of the cost of development easements on the following:

1. On farmland which conforms to the priority criteria set forth in N.J.A.C. 2:76-6 and where the SADC determines that the purchase would be in the interest of the State regardless of whether the respective county agriculture development board (CADB) is willing to provide funds for the purchase.

2. On farmland which conforms to the priority criteria set forth in N.J.A.C. 2:76-6 and where both the SADC and the respective CADB determines that the purchase is in their respective interests and no county funding is immediately available.

(b) The SADC may require the county to provide additional cost share funds beyond those currently required for future purchases of development easements in the event of the 100 percent SADC funding pursuant to (a)2 above.
