How does the Land Bank pay for Stewardship?
Each time the Land Bank completes a project, money is set aside in a special stewardship endowment fund. This fund generates interest income that is used to manage and maintain Land Bank preserves and conservation easements. At the end of 2006, the endowment fund was $3.2 million. The fund will continue to grow as the Land Bank’s portfolio of easements and preserves grows. The Land Bank Commission’s goal is that all expenses needed to care for Land Bank properties in perpetuity will be paid out of interest from this account.
