DuPage County board moves to create county land bank, partnership with community land trust discussed
Summary
A county board member moved a resolution to establish a DuPage County land bank and authorize partnering with a community land trust; the item was discussed in finance committee and staff presentations were noted, but no final vote is recorded in the transcript.
Vice Chair Michael Childress moved a resolution at the May 27 DuPage County Board meeting to establish a county land bank and authorize the county to partner with a community land trust.
The Nut Graf: The board’s finance committee received a presentation on the proposed land bank earlier; members described the initiative as a tool to support housing affordability by enabling acquisition and redevelopment of vacant, abandoned, or tax-delinquent properties.
At the board meeting Vice Chair Childress said, “I'd like to move on CBR4625, resolution establishing the creation of a county land bank and authority to partner with Community Land Trust.” Member Garcia later told the full board that the finance committee had a “great discussion and presentation regarding the establishing of the creation of the county land bank.”
Discussion points included staff plans to make housing more affordable and collaborative work with the chair and local partners; however, the transcript does not record a final roll-call vote on CBR4625 during the session excerpted here.
Ending: The motion was made and the item was discussed in committee; further consideration or a recorded vote will be necessary to adopt the land bank and any partnering authority.
