The Community Land Trust (CLT)is a simple not-for-profit
organization. As the CLT is capable of holding any land
in the region, including land for farming, commercial
use, residential and low income, the corporation is
not organized as a tax exempt organization. A tax exempt
designation would limit the activities of what is intended
to be a broadly-reaching, flexible land holding organization.
