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 award of $345,000 helped Mathews County Land Conservancy acquire the nearly one-acre Williams and Co. Store property. The property, which is eligible for individual listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register, is adjacent to the 0.4 acre Williams Wharf in Mathews, and the two properties will be combined for use as a museum. The B. Williams and Co. Store property was placed under easement with the Department of Historic Resources following acquisition.
