Description:

The purpose of this grant is to provide funding to the Coastal Land Trust that will allow it to access federal and state funds to secure conservation easements and help prevent development and encroachment on property that is critical to military operations in North Carolina. Funds would allow the Trust to close on a minimum of two encroachment projects, appraise and negotiate several new projects from the existing Cherry Point priority list, and work with Cherry Point to produce an updated and revised project priority list that addresses the need to buffer the base to accommodate new F-35B squadrons.
