Land bank bill clears Senate
The Ohio Senate voted 31-1 on Wednesday, March 24, for a bill that allows more counties to set up land banks, a tool used for redeveloping blighted properties.
Sponsored by state Representatives Roland Winburn, D-Dayton, and Peter Ujvagi, D-Toledo, the bill allows counties with populations of 60,000 or more to establish a County Land Reutilization Corporation. About 40 Ohio counties will qualify but they won’t be required to establish land banks.

tg: How does this program work? Will the properties end up in the hands of private individuals to be developed/improved?

Woo hoo! Too many abandoned properties sit for so long they’re beyond repair. This will help get them in the hands of people who want to improve the neighborhoods.
