Calling urban growers! Tune in for a virtual listening session. 📣 🌱 ⭐️Event details: Tues, August 27 • 1:30–3 pm • Virtual Session ⭐️ Join us to learn more about House Bill 920, a current proposal in the Pennsylvania General Assembly aimed at strengthening support for urban producers. Urban Ag Incentive Zones could help open up a world where zoning codes correctly recognize the benefits that farms and gardens bring to cities, support them in overcoming their unique challenges, and make it easier for growers to sustain their operations and feed their communities. In this virtual listening session, you will hear from HB 920’s sponsor, Representative Chris Rabb, about why he introduced the Urban Ag Incentive Zone bill and what he hopes the legislation will achieve. Following Rep. Rabb’s overview, we’ll shift to a discussion to gather producer feedback. Share your experiences and weigh in on possible areas for improvement.
