Ann Arbor Greenbelt Advisory Commission Meeting 10/01/26

The Ann Arbor Greenbelt Advisory Commission meeting, held October 1, 2026, reviewed a Greenbelt fund balance of approximately $4.6 million; staff reported no change since the prior meeting. The commission voted to recommend that City Council apply for USDA NRCS Agricultural Conservation Easement Program funding for the Malbeche property (application ID 202605) in Northfield Township. The proposed easement would protect 48 acres of a 53-acre parcel, excluding five acres. The application window closes October 31. No appraisal was available, and staff said applying would not commit the city to completing the project.
