With the support of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the National Community Land Trust Academy has set up this website as its first case study. A project of the Madison Area Community Land Trust, Troy Gardens provides a useful illustration of what it takes to development a community land trust project because: (1) it includes a wide variety of land uses, (2) it provides a model of conservation-based affordable housing development, and (3) almost every conceivable issue was encountered during the development process.
