Much of the land bank revenue last week came from the town of Chilmark, where two transactions resulted in $215,700. One transaction earned $129,000 in West Tisbury. Four transactions generated $114,560 in Edgartown. Four transactions resulted in $83,000 in Oak Bluffs. And one transaction earned $17,900 in Tisbury.
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 3,882 acres of Vineyard land.
