A local nonprofit dedicated to preserving farmland has purchased development rights to 40 acres near Fairview Loop Road that was once part of a homestead in the early 1900s.
The purchase of the 40-acre plot at 2445 S. Davis Road is a first for the Alaska Farmland Trust Corporation, a Palmer-based group incorporated two years ago to preserve state farmland.
