Abstract:
The Land Conservancy Bill was introduced in the 1973 North Carolina General Assembly. The purpose is to level the playing field when the state is competing with private buyers to buy land for uses such as preservation or limited recreational development. The bill creates the North Carolina Land Conservancy Corporation, a nonprofit organization which would have the authority to acquire land for the state or to sell the state's land with approval of the General Assembly.
