For the last 20 years, Ann Arbor Township has participated in a highly successful program which has protected nearly 1,300 acres of land. This land will stay green forever, and never be developed or contribute to urban sprawl.
This fall, the program is up for renewal with no tax increase from current levels. With its continuation, hundreds of additional acres will be protected in Ann Arbor Township forever, providing us with critical public benefits.

A renewal of Ann Arbor Township’s current Land Preservation Millage — not a tax increase.
In 2003, Ann Arbor Township residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of raising funds for the permanent preservation of farmland and open space in the township. This program expired in 2023, and is now up for a 5-year renewal.
Every dollar that Ann Arbor Township taxpayers provide towards the program is leveraged 2 to 3 times by other local, state, and federal land preservation programs.
