Three transactions earned $16,590.79 in West Tisbury. Two transactions resulted in $10,890 in Oak Bluffs. And one transaction generated $6,000 in Tisbury.

The land bank uses its revenues to purchase and manage land for purposes of conservation, preservation and passive recreation. To date the agency has participated in the purchase of more than 3,243 acres of Vineyard land.
