How are CFCP easement grant funds utilized?
CFCP agricultural conservation easement grant funds are used to compensate a landowner who voluntarily chooses to sell the development potential on his or her agricultural land. The value of an agricultural conservation easement is determined by an independent real estate appraisal, which represents the difference between the fair market value and the restricted value of the property (the diminished value after an easement is attached to the deed of the property).
