VLCF Funded Projects
Virginia’s working farms and forests, battlefields and other historic sites, natural areas, parks and rivers are critical to its economy, culture and quality of life. In 1999, the assembly and governor established the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation (VLCF) to fund protection of these resources. The interactive map below depicts VLCF-grant projects funded since 2000.

| Description: |
A $200,000 grant was awarded to the City of Chesapeake to acquire 90 acres of existing park property located in Chesapeake but owned by the City of Norfolk. Recent removal of park restrictions on the property prompted Norfolk to seek sale of the property for non-park use. The park is operated by Chesapeake's Parks and Recreation Department.
