They may be donated or purchased, and in many states and jurisdictions an easement may make special tax credits or incentives available for the property owner. They may be developed to protect agricultural lands, maintain the qualities of a viewshed, or preserve historic facades." - From the America's Byways Resource Center Publication "Milestones to Milemarkers"
