County Land Banks: Overview and Future Directions

Wednesday, March 10, 2021

9:00 – 10:00 A.M.

 

DESCRIPTION: County land banks may serve an important role in addressing the expected real estate impact from the COVID-19 public health emergency. Bricker will review the organizational form - technically "Community Improvement Corporations" under Ohio law – under which county land reutilization corporations operate. This overview will include a summary of changes to county land bank law proposed during the last Ohio General Assembly (and likely to be reintroduced during the 134th General Assembly).
