Three Land Bank Seats Open; Commissioner Corey Kennedy Has Applied
Summary
Jackson County officials reported three open seats on the county land bank board, with one application from Commissioner Corey Kennedy and no applicants for two public-facing seats.
Three seats on the Jackson County land bank board are currently vacant, and one county commissioner has applied to fill a seat, committee members said.
The vacancies include the nonprofit representative seat held by Lindsay Knoll and a public-member seat held by Mary Wolcott; the meeting record shows no applicants had come forward for either position. The county also listed a commissioner seat on the land bank; Commissioner Corey Kennedy has applied to fill that opening.
The committee chair noted the vacancies and said she had reached out to Mary Wolcott. No formal appointment vote was recorded in the committee discussion captured in the transcript.
Why it matters: Land bank boards typically hold and manage tax-foreclosed or underutilized property for redevelopment; filling these seats affects who will set priorities for property disposition and community revitalization.
What happened next: The committee discussion ended without a formal appointment recorded in the transcript, leaving the nonprofit and public-member seats unfilled pending further action by the board or applicants.
Details from the meeting: The chair announced "We have 3 positions on the land bank open." The transcript lists the incumbent names for two seats and records that "we have no applicants" for those two positions while noting Commissioner Kennedy "has applied." No vote tally, mover, or second was recorded for an appointment during the captured discussion.
Looking ahead: The transcript does not specify next steps or deadlines for filling the nonprofit and public-member vacancies.
