• THE LAND CONSERVANCY WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH THE COMMUNITY AND PROFESSIONAL DESIGN CONSULTANTS TO CREATE A CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE RIVERLINE. THE CONCEPT PLAN CALLS FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE FORMER DL&W RAIL CORRIDOR INTO A 1.5 MILE MULTI-USE NATURE TRAIL AND GREENWAY. THE RIVERLINE WILL BE AN INSPIRING GATHERING PLACE THAT CONNECTS PEOPLE TO WATER, NATURE, AND ONE ANOTHER, AND IT WILL HELP BUILD A HEALTHY, INCLUSIVE AND OPPORTUNITY-RICH CITY . THE CONCEPT PLANS; THE EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK, COMPLETED IN 2020 WITH INPUT FROM HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS; AND CONTINUED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS, WILL GUIDE FUTURE DECISIONS FOR TAKING THE RIVERLINE FROM IDEA TO REALITY. THE LAND CONSERVANCY OFFICIALLY FORMED THE RIVERLINE LLC, A SOLE MEMBER MANAGED ENTITY ON 5/11/21. THE OPERATING AGREEMENT FOR THE RIVERLINE LLC WAS AMENDED TO CHANGE THE RIVERLINE LLC FROM SOLE MEMBER TO MANAGER MANAGED IN JUNE 2022.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
