7.C.8) Establish and expand conservation tax credit programs

Existing Massachusetts tax law (MGL Chapter 62, Section 6) provides income tax incentives for private landowners to conduct a wide range of environmental improvements, including making investments in renewable energy sources, residential lead removal, and Title V septic system upgrades. A state income tax credit for land conservation would compliment these existing credits by rewarding landowners who choose to conserve their land for current and future public benefit.

8.a    The Legislature should adopt Governor Patrick’s amendment to the state conservation tax credit legislation or implement the conservation tax credit as a standalone piece of legislation
