The Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank reported revenues of $69,060 for the business week ending on Friday, Oct. 11, 2019.

The land bank receives its funds from a two per cent fee charged on many Vineyard real estate transactions. Much of the land bank revenue last week came from the town of Tisbury, where two transactions resulted in $29,350. Two transactions earned $26,250 in Oak Bluffs. And three transactions earned $13,460 in Edgartown. No eligible transactions were recorded in Aquinnah, Chilmark, or West 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.
