County Board Tables Action on Land Bank

By

At their Aug. 4, 2010 meeting, the Washtenaw County board of commissioners tabled two resolutions related to resurrecting a land bank that they had dissolved earlier this year. The land bank is a tool used to help the county deal with foreclosed and blighted properties. Some commissioners had voiced concerns over issues of governance, control and liability for the county – the majority of the board voted to table the resolutions, citing the need for more time to gather information about reforming the land bank.
