Does the project support agricultural development or protect the existing agricultural <br />economy? <br /> <br />Yes, by bringing domestic water to the homes of all the agricultural producers/land <br />owners in the Goodman Point area. Severallandowners who have previously moved <br />from the area to an area with domestic water have expressed interest in moving <br />back to their old homes at Goodman Point. <br /> <br />We do not forecast that any tillable land will be removed from production. <br /> <br />Further, Montezuma Valley Irrigation management has stated that it will be easier <br />to bring irrigation water to this area as a result of this project. This will enhance the <br />value and performance of agriculturalland in this area. <br /> <br />Goodman Point Water Association Application - Evaluation Criteria Attachment 2 <br /> <br />Page 7 <br />
