Board hears update on Lakeshore Legacy rehab program; asks that Grant listings show sale timelines
Summary
Board member Kilgo said about $70,000 has been raised for a home-rehabilitation program run with Lakeshore Legacy Project; the board also asked that realtors list a clear timeline and note State Land Bank approval is required for Grant properties.
Board member Kilgo reported that he is working with the Lakeshore Legacy Project and several nonprofits on a program to purchase and rehabilitate a home that will be awarded to a selected recipient. The minutes say approximately $70,000 has been raised to date and that applications are currently being accepted; submitted applications will be reviewed and a recipient selected based on eligibility and program criteria.
Separately, the board requested that all realtors listing properties that are in the Grant include a clearly defined timeline for sale and a notice that all offers are subject to State Land Bank approval, which may extend the approval process. The minutes record this as board guidance rather than a formal policy adoption.
