Hunterdon Works Through
Pandemic Obstacles To Preserve Farmland and Open Space
In 2020
|
|
Hunterdon County substantially added to its open space and farmland preservation inventories during 2020, overcoming the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, continuing the County’s record of having preserved the most farms in the state, and reserving additional open space acreage in municipalities around the County, Board Director Shaun C. Van Doren reported at the final Freeholder meeting, in December.
Van Doren, in a wrap up report on the County’s land preservation program, stated, “Through funding the preservation of over 287 acres of farmland and over 562 acres of open space properties across the County, the Freeholder Board, working with our volunteers serving on the County Agriculture Development Board (CADB) and the Parks Open Space Advisory Committee (POSAC), continued the county’s commitment to the preservation of open space and farmland."

Sheriff Fred Brown Warns Residents Of New Sophisticated Scams |
|
Sheriff Frederick W. Brown is warning residents about new sophisticated scams recently brought to his attention, with callers attempting to take advantage of the public with false legal motives and scare tactics.
Sheriff Brown said, “Two complaints recently came through to my office, the first one was a warning to a resident missing a Federal Grand Jury Notice, but the caller used terms to incite fear and intimidation, such as arrest, warrant, NCIC database, gag order and summons. They were clearly trained on what words and language to use in order to convince the potential victim that they were in violation and legal action could ultimately be taken against them.
The second call was a utility bill collection attempt for thousands of dollars with the caller claiming it was due to an electronic payment glitch, advising the resident to purchase money pack cards in order to make the payment. This was an especially troubling call because the resident was then told someone would be coming to their home to pick up the cards.”
