Board considers using land bank to clear adjudicated properties for redevelopment
Summary
Board members discussed tearing down old structures on adjudicated property via land banks to make lots marketable; no funding or formal action was taken at the meeting.
Board members and attending jurors discussed the possibility of using a land bank mechanism to tear down dilapidated or adjudicated structures so parcels could be put back into productive use. The idea was discussed as a redevelopment tool to create buildable lots rather than as a specific, funded program.
No motion was made to create a land bank or to allocate funds for demolitions during the Aug. 26 meeting. Board members framed the land-bank idea as one of several ways to make adjudicated property useful for future development.
