TDRs are Out in Stafford

Stafford County
“A long-debated land-use program is dead before it fully went into effect in Stafford County. The transfer-of-development rights pilot program was designed to reduce building in the rural Brooke area while increasing growth in the Courthouse area.

The program had been approved in February, but it was missing a critical component—maps of the areas involved—that would have actually allowed it to work. The Stafford Board of Supervisors took up a ‘housecleaning’ item Tuesday evening that could have also expanded the program, but instead, the board killed it.”
