The Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank reported revenues of $279,250 for the business week ending on Friday, March 1, 2024. 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 three transactions resulted in $106,100. Three transactions earned $91,600 in Oak Bluffs. Two transactions generated $81,000 in West Tisbury. And one transaction resulted in $550 in Edgartown. No eligible transactions were recorded in Aquinnah or Chilmark.

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 4,050 acres of Vineyard land.
