Virginia Land Conservation Incentives Act of 1999 to encourage “preservation of open spaces and sustainability of Virginia’s unique natural recourses, wildlife habitats, open spaces and forested resources.” The Act was ushered through the legislative process by Del. R. Creigh Deeds (D-Warm Springs) and by Sen. Emmett W. Hanger Jr. (R-Mount Solon).
The legislation was part of a package of incentives that emerged from Speaker of the House Thomas Moss’ Commission on the Future of Virginia’s Environment. Representatives of Piedmont Environmental Council served on the Moss Commission.
