| In conducting its study, the joint subcommittee shall review recent funding for the preservation of open-space and other conservation land; the future needs of the Commonwealth for open-space and other conservation land, including but not limited to: working farms and forests, wildlife habitat and gamelands, natural areas, parks, and historic resources; the mix of programs best suited to meet such needs, including but not limited to Purchase of Development Rights programs; the cost of such needs; and long-term funding to pay the costs. In addition, the joint subcommittee shall develop a plan for the sharing of the costs of land preservation among the Commonwealth and its local governments. Further, the joint subcommittee shall identify strategies for increasing land preservation, water supply protection and the availability of large parks to serve Northern Virginia. |
