Featuring Keynote Speaker Frank Alexander, Professor of Law at Emory University School of Law, co-founder of the Center for Community Progress and author of "Land Banks and
Land Banking," participants in this program will:
-
Learn from officials from other states who are implementing land banks
-
Get answers to their most pressing questions: How do we get started? How does a land bank fit in with what is already in place? What about the politics, staffing and board? What would
we gain? How do we pay for it?
-
Work through a decision tree to assess if a land bank might be right for your community.
-
Connect with other officials from PA who are tackling blight or abandonment and are considering land banks.
