The Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank reported revenues of $182,420 for the business week ending on Friday, March 20, 2026. 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 Aquinnah, where one transaction resulted in $133,000. Two transactions earned $43,000 in Tisbury. And two transactions resulted in $6,420 in Oak Bluffs. No eligible transactions were recorded in Chilmark, Edgartown 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 4,242 acres of Vineyard land.
