Where Do We Start?
The Partners evaluated five (5) different areas in the inner city that were designated as target areas
Each area contained large inventories of abandoned/vacant property with little market value
SWOT Analysis- Identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in each neighborhood
Redevelopment Plans for Neighborhoods funded by CityFocused on the areas where we could make a huge
impact and develop a model to continue in other neighborhoods

Unique Challenges in Inner City Neighborhoods
Disinvestment has occurred over decades Code enforcement can’t keep up Crime/drugs, etc., or. . . . The image of crime/drugs, etc. The erosion of the middle class The preponderance of renters The breakdown of institutions

Properties aren’t always easily obtainable
Owners can’t be found, or
Owners can be found but don’t have clear title, or
Owners can be found and they have clear title, but they want to hold on to property
Neighborhood redevelopment fails when we just get the properties that no one else wants
The importance of critical mass
Hard lessons learned the hard way

Land Bank Mission
Our mission is to acquire properties that are underutilized, blighted, tax delinquent and return them to a productive use status
Concentrate on properties that can be turned over and redeveloped in a relatively short period of time, not on holding properties with little redevelopment potential
