White County accepts 100-acre land donation

The White County Commission moved Monday night to secure a piece of land that won’t be up for sale anytime soon — or ever.

In a unanimous vote, commissioners approved a resolution to accept the donation of more than 100 acres, with the understanding that the property will be permanently preserved for agricultural use. The agreement, still being finalized, is expected to include strict covenants to ensure the land remains undeveloped and cared for according to the donor’s wishes.
