ASAs are established under state or local legislation to promote the continued use of farmland for agricultural production and to limit non-agricultural development that may negatively impact farming operations. This dataset includes spatial information such as parcel boundaries, ASA designations, and associated attributes (e.g., approval dates, municipalities, landowner participation). The layer supports land use planning, farmland preservation initiatives, and policy development by providing critical spatial context for assessing agricultural viability and development pressures.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/838546cc58ce41d29adc2af6faea4932_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>York County, PA GIS Open Data Portal</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Agricultural Security Areas [Pennsylvania--York County]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Pennsylvania--York County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Pennsylvania</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2025-10-27</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
