This image shows where the state's agriculturally significant soils have been developed (in grey) and where there is proposed development (in pink and white). The largest piece of pink, white and grey color in the northern most region of development is the most important part of this image. Presently, this area is overgrown and serves as a large buffer to the residents of North Kingstown. Due to the proximity of this space to residents, as well as it's present undeveloped state, this area would serve many of Rhode Island's present and future needs for prime farmland.
