Land Bank Meeting

Land Bank Meeting Planned

A land bank is an entity established to manage and dispose of distressed property for the purpose of stabilizing neighborhoods and encouraging the reuse or redevelopment of property. Kansas law allows city and county governments to create land banks. Land banks have come up at both countywide meetings we have held on housing. But, at the time, we had more questions than answers.  

In hopes of providing some answers, we have scheduled a meeting on land banks for 6:00 pm on Monday, August 26th in the Community Room at Galena City Hall, 211 W. 7th, Galena, KS. We will be joined by representatives from Pittsburg and Fort Scott who will share information on their land banks and answer questions from attendees.

Please join us if you would like to learn more about land banks, and feel free invite others who may have an interest in the topic. Please call 620-762-0717 or email jm@cherokeecountykansas.com with questions.
