Finn Hall Farm

Status
Funded in 2009
WWRP Applicant: Clallam County WWRP Category: Farmland Preservation WWRP Grant: $868,075 Applicant Match: $1,032,075 Project Type: Acquisition County: Clallam  Legislative District: 24th 

Clallam County will use this grant to buy the development rights on 50 acres of Finn Hall farm in the eastern part of the county. The farm, which currently raises cattle, has prime soils as certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and has been farmed profitably by the same family for 80 years. The farm has a commanding view of the Olympic Mountains, making it attractive to developers. The owners are near retirement and will sell the land to a developer to finance their retirement years. Once an easement is placed on the property, it will be leased to nearby farmers. Preserving the farm will help protect an important wildlife corridor on the Olympic Peninsula and beach habitat along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The county will contribute $1 million in donations of cash and property interest, and a federal grant. (08-1288)

RCO Project Number: 08-1288
