The Prince George - Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment Committee convened on March 13, 2025, to discuss various topics related to local agriculture and upcoming budget considerations. The meeting began with a review of a recent tour conducted by committee member Mister Donahue and Merrill Nash, focusing on the southern part of the county and its farming industries.

During the discussion, committee members reflected on the insights gained from the tour, particularly regarding zoning issues raised by local farmers. These farmers expressed their desires for more flexibility in land use to enhance their agricultural operations. The conversation highlighted the ongoing dialogue between the committee and the farming community, emphasizing the importance of addressing their needs and concerns.

Mister Donahue was acknowledged for his contributions to the committee and the agricultural sector, with members expressing gratitude for his efforts over the years. The meeting concluded with a note of appreciation for his work and a reminder of the next meeting scheduled for March 27, where the committee will shift focus to budget discussions. The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is expected to present an overview of their upcoming budget at that time, marking the beginning of the budget season for the committee. Additionally, there will be a follow-up on the wineries tour led by Mister Harrison.

Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to supporting local agriculture while preparing for important financial discussions in the coming weeks.
