New legislation that goes into effect July 1 will grant farms and farm breweries in Albemarle County the ability to hold events and conduct certain economic activities without getting approval from the Board of Supervisors.

Under the new state law, counties would not be able to require a special-use permit for events or a zoning clearance for activities such as farm sales unless there is a “substantial impact on the health, safety or general welfare of the public.”

Do you support this new legislation?
