In 2019 I provided the funding necessary to revive the DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority. The Land Bank is a valuable tool to fight blight and get abandoned properties revitalized and into productive use. The Land Bank became functional in 2022 after a board was appointed and an administrator was chosen to oversee the daily operations, property acquisition, sales, and legal transactions on behalf of DeKalb County. The Land Bank is a valuable tool in creating affordable housing. https://drlb.org/
