Purpose

The Albemarle Conservation Easement Authority (ACEA) is a public body established by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to §10.1-1701 of the Code of Virginia. The ACEA holds open-space easements that protect rural land from development and that preserve important natural and cultural resources across the County. ACEA holds three different types of easements — donated open-space easements, ACE program easements (which it co-holds with the County), and easements over the preservation tracts of Rural Preservation Developments (RPDs).

Meetings

The second Thursday of each month, 4:45 pm in Room 241 of the Albemarle County Office Building at 401 McIntire Road, but will also be held virtually.
