Clarify state and local laws, ordinances, and definitions

Many New Hampshire agritourism operators and prospective operators have expressed that laws and guidelines could be more clearly articulated (for example, “accessory uses,” as stated in RSA 21:34-a) to avoid differing interpretations and legal gray areas. Clarifications may help reduce business inefficiencies and conflicts at the local level. Educational resources that explain the respective roles of state and local authorities in agritourism matters could contribute to easier business roadmaps.
