Preserve Agricultural Land on Wolfville Ridge!

Preserve Agricultural Land on Wolfville Ridge!
Why this petition matters
Wolfville Ridge is located just South, a short walk up the slope from the town of Wolfville, Nova Scotia. In addition to some of the more breathtaking views of the Gaspereau Valley, it consists of a very supportive community of residents and farmers. Many of them have been there for generations. Except for a community church and the historic Ridge Stily Park all of the land is designated and, in many ways, protected as agricultural (A1/A2).
Recently a 10-acre parcel located at 1299 Ridge Road was purchased by an outside investor from Toronto who is intending to use this location to warehouse and possibly wholesale their building and construction materials from this location. To serve this purpose, this investor has submitted an application to turn this agricultural land to an industrial zoning (C4).
As a Wolfville Ridge community, we are extremely disturbed about having and industrial operation run out of our agricultural community! The lory traffic and other industrial activity will have a severe impact on our small farming community; it will pollute our environment; and a shift like this will set a precedence for other land to be converted for industrial operations!
Please help us to stop the conversion of agricultural land on Wolfville Ridge to industrial land. This will destroy our small farming community!
