Three transactions earned $20,848 in Oak Bluffs. One transaction generated $20,000 in Chilmark. And one transaction earned $10,000 in Edgartown. No eligible transactions were recorded in Aquinnah.
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.
