Conclusions: »VALUATION & DEVELOPMENT • The declining agricultural assessed value and overall assessment percentage places a major burden on all other classes of property to provide an adequate tax base to provide tax funds for necessary local government services. • It appears to be essential for Vienna and/or most other rural towns to develop, at least some, other tax base classes of property and improvements to compensate for the changing agricultural taxing system and values. • Well planned and located, condensed, and compatible commercial and residential development is now and will continue to be a needed and necessary element for the preservation of prime agricultural lands. • Vienna's last 30 years of growth planning and experience suggest that concentrated and well planned non-agricultural growth and development can be beneficial to, and accomplished without major conflicts, to existing agricultural operations. |
