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.

A grant in the amount of $425,000 was awarded to the City of Virginia Beach to protect a 4-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Adam Thoroughgood House property, which is a National Historic Landmark as it is one of the earliest documented structures in the nation. The subject property, currently undeveloped, holds the potential for significant archaeological resources and would be available for light passive recreational use.
