7.B.6) The Commonwealth should provide adequate funding for open space

The recently passed Environmental Bond contains $366,500,000 for Land accounts, available over the next five years.  The Governor has committed to spending $50 million per year on land, not including staff, and EEA is planning to release an annual "Land Spending Report Card" detailing how the money was spent. These capital dollars are critical for land conservation and preservation of the region’s natural resources.

6.a    The Administration should maintain its commitment to $50 million of capital spending for land acquisition under Article 97, with a long-term goal of increasing the amount to $75 million to match ongoing annual need.
