The Genesee County Land Bank has become a national leader in using land banking to guide community development. By avoiding the potential neglect or misuse that comes from selling land at auction, the County is able to acquire abandoned land through the foreclosure process and determine the best use of that land. The Land Bank assembles land for transfer to adjacent homeowners, develops long and short-term green spaces, and assembles land for new housing and commercial development. Overall, the Land Bank aims to restore the integrity of the community by removing dilapidated structures and redeveloping abandoned properties.
