At the Oct. 1 meeting, Upper Milford Township Supervisors approved Mark DeWalt’s request to swap a “high value” parcel within his property classified as preserved farmland for a “low value” parcel thus allowing the property owner to go ahead with plans to build a garage on his property.

DeWalt’s property is on Acorn Drive.

These farms account for 3,612 acres in Lehigh County in the program, according to Lehigh County’s website.
