To provide a GIS data layer showing lands acquired through the Florida Forever Program or American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
Florida Forever Acquisitions (layer name ff_acquired) is a polygon data layer for parcels that have been purchased using Florida Forever (FF) funding or American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. This data layer is parcel-based and contains information pertaining to specific parcels that have been purchased with Florida Forever or ARPA funds. Most of these parcels will also be incorporated into the Florida Natural Areas Inventory's Florida Managed Areas (FLMA) data layer, either as new managed areas (i.e., conservation lands) or additions to existing managed areas.
