She added that there is much land that isn‘t well suited to agricultural uses which would be pegged as agricultural if the measure was adopted. "We have limited estate subdiviâ€" sions in the rural area," Serjeantson said. "We‘ve protected the rural area. Recreational uses can work handâ€"inâ€" hand with agriculture." Regional chairman, Peter Pomeroy,said restrictions to developâ€" ment would be enough for investors to go elsewhere. Pomeroy said golf courses are compatible with agriculâ€" ‘or more area golf courses ture, and the tourist dollars and employment they generate are imporâ€" tant to the region. "Most of the land east of Highway 25 and south of Milton is already sold to developers," Pomeroy said, wonâ€" dering what agricultural land was being protected. "Farms there are just being rented out. Farm buildings are in a state of disrepair. It‘s just a matter of time." Pomeroy said that if such a restricâ€" tion had existed 20 years ago, Halton would have missed out on Glen Abbey golf course and "the hundreds of millions of dollars it has brought into the region."
