The Partnership for Manageable Growth (PMG) program helps protect important agricultural and open space resources. The program provides a locally funded match for land preservation purchase (up to 50% of the total project cost). Since its inception, and including acreage from pending projects, the program has helped protect 6,321 acres of farmland and open space in Dutchess County. The PMG program has also provided partial funding for two municipal infrastructure projects to support existing centers.
