How do biosolids benefit all Virginians?
The irreplaceable land that produces our food and fiber and provides us with scenic open space, wildlife habitat and clean water is increasingly at risk from urban sprawl and rural subdivisions. To ensure a prosperous future, we must save our farmland. Privately owned open lands generate more in tax revenues than they require back in municipal services. Pastoral landscapes attract tourists. Agriculture contributes to state economies directly through jobs, sales and support services, and by supplying lucrative secondary markets such as food processing. Saving farmland is an investment in community infrastructure.
