Eastern Shore Land Conservancy advocates for conservation funding tied to new Bay Bridge
What happened
Eastern Shore Land Conservancy commissioned a poll showing 63% of likely voters across the Mid-Shore support construction of a new Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The poll also found that 95% of respondents believe protecting farmland and open space should be part of planning for the bridge. Steve Kline, president and CEO of Eastern Shore Land Conservancy, is advocating for dedicated land conservation funding as part of any new Bay Bridge project.

Why it matters
The advocacy links infrastructure planning to land use policy in the Eastern Shore. The poll indicates strong local support for creating a dedicated fund to protect farmland and open space while planning for the bridge. Kline noted that a new bridge could potentially inaugurate a new era of sprawl development.
The Eastern Shore is a region within Maryland, and Steve Kline is the president and CEO of Eastern Shore Land Conservancy.
