City of Ann Arbor Greenbelt District Program
The City of Ann Arbor Greenbelt District Program has preserved and enlarged the greenbelt around the city. In November 2003, residents of Ann Arbor voted, with an overwhelming majority, in favor of the Open Space and Parkland Preservation Millage, commonly referred to as the "Greenbelt Millage." Funds are used to protect agricultural and open space land outside of the City, within the Greenbelt District. The Greenbelt Program protects working farmland and natural areas, as well as, protecting land along the Huron River.
